| Manor Adventure Lockerbie | We have visited Lockerbie Manor on a number of occasions and it has never disappointed. The centre is excellent and the staff even better.

| Tamworth Castle | An excellent venue. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by both children and staff and has sparked a real interest in the children. The visit was simple from start to finish, and castle staff were excellent in engaging the children and ensuring that the day ran smoothly. A perfect size for KS1, and having sole use of the castle was a real bonus. Thanks for a fabulous day out! | 23 March 2020 | |
| WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre | We had a fantastic experience at Slimbridge. It was wonderful to see our year 7's being children and enjoying interacting with the birds and nature. The students favourite aspect of the day was definitely feeding the birds, and having the opportunity to draw from them first hand. We are aiming to build this trip into next years curriculum to inspire 3D work in the classroom. The staff were fantastic on the day and in preparations with regards to planning the itinerary for 90 plus students. | 23 March 2020 | |
