| PGL Little Canada | PGL have a vast range of activities for schools to participate in. However, you may not always get your first choice. We were given dragon boat racing, vertical challenge and sensory trail originally, although we only chose vertical challenge from these three - our other two weren't granted. I requested to change the sensory trail and I was given three options (archery, ball games or beach walk) so I chose archery as it allows pupils to use multiple skills and is fun and competitive. Each activity is roughly 1 and a half hours which is a good amount of time to ensure everyone gets lots of turns but without getting bored. | 14 July 2022 | |

| The Chill Factore | Our experience was shocking and not at all good or appropriate for our group of children. We were placed in a room upstairs which seemed great as we could keep the children together in a safe space and get changed easily in there. However, rather than having all the suits/boots etc. ready to go and get changed the girl had to keep going up and downstairs for them. This meant it took 45 minutes for us to be ready, meaning we had missed the first 15 minutes of our slot. I thought they would make it up for us at the end, however, as soon as it reached 11.30am we were asked to leave. The children had only gotten about 20 minutes on the doughnuts and ONE go on the sledges. Lots of the children wanted a turn on the slide and were old enough to do so. As they couldn't have a turn this led to multiple dysregulations within the group which led to one teacher being beat up by one of the children as they were so dysregulated, the room being trashed and other children being hurt and upset in the process. It really is not good enough and is not a place I would ever visit again. | 14 July 2022 | |

| The Observatory Science Centre | The workshop wasn't as interactive as I thought it would be. There was lots to see -I wasn't sure where would be best palaces to go. There didn't seem to be a map outlining the different exhibits - which would have been useful. | 14 July 2022 | |

| Thorpe Park | Great venue for a rewards trip but as a summer rewards visit in the last couple of weeks of term, Thorpe Park didn't have enough staff to get students in quickly. Even with a good structure in place, it took our group 1hr to get in due to security checks. More staff need to be allocated to this role in the future. | 14 July 2022 | |
| Silverstone Circuit | The visit was quite inspirational. The girls had the opportunity to see the impact of females in the competitive industry of motosports, and to talk to female racers who are already making a name for themselves. The girls could see, fisrt hand, that it is possible to get into motoracing just with hard work and the desire to do so. | 14 July 2022 | |
