| Oaker Wood Leisure | The centre was well organised, with both classes using different facilities to remain in bubbles. Children were asked to sanitize between activities and staff were assigned to a group to limit contact with others. Staff were appropriate with masks and shields when needed but also still able to help children with the activities. | 05 May 2021 | |
| Sam Sykes Ltd | The training given on the day was well put together and this made the students more confident at the end of the day. The supervision of the groups by staff from Sam Sykes was really good and they were able to adapt the training content to the needs in the groups. | 04 May 2021 | |

Fabulous, just what the children needed in these uncertain times, including lots of fresh air. | 11 December 2020 | |

| RCT Windsor Castle | We were met at the entrance. All Covid arrangements were in place with sanitation in every area of the castle and grounds. Standards were high for cleanliness and good direction. Pupils were stunned the the views and the splendor and opulence of the castle. It gave a wonderful introduction to our history and our art. This is definitely on our list of places to visit with pupils. A bonus in these difficult times was that there were only a few other visitors so we had the place largely to ourselves. The staff at the castle could not have been more helpful. Weather and time curtailed our planned full tour of the town but we wre able to have lunch in one of the very few open restaurants. | 04 December 2020 | |
