| North of England Zoological Society - Chester Zoo | The zoo was brilliant and the pupils had an excellent day. However we arrived late and all found that the workshop went on too long. Considering next year not booking the workshop and us discussing the content of the workshop with the pupils as we walk around. | 01 April 2022 | |

| Plas Gwynant Outdoor Education Centre | The centre is an excellent place for a trip. They have all their information on line so that uploads to evolve and messages to parents were simple. The staff are experienced and adapt the activities as necessary to ensure that students get the best out of their experience but that health and safety considerations are paramount. | 31 March 2022 | |
| Exmoor Adventures | Well organised and ready to receive the group. The instructors related to the group really well and we all had a purposeful and safe experience of the activities. The bikes we used were of top notch. The supervision was superb and they knew how to extend our more competent riders whilst at the same time having empathy for those who were nervous. | 31 March 2022 | |

| Hilltop Outdoor Centre | Clean and safe; suitable accommodation; excellent staff. | 31 March 2022 | |
| Beamish Museum | The Education Lead at the Museum was extremely helpful prior to the visit. A pre visit is a must as your trip leader needs to see the museum, as it is huge, to plan your trip well. Staff extremely helpful on site and the museum itself is really engaging. | 31 March 2022 | |

| The London Eye | Amazing opportunity for our students to visit London and go on the Eye. For some of them it was the first time they'd been on a train and into London. They thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity. | 31 March 2022 | |

| PGL Boreatton Park | Pupils had a brilliant time. The accommodation and food were excellent and there can be no complaints. Activities were good. Maybe more variety of activities would have been good to have offered and activities that pupils rarely have the chance to do outside of school. For example the girls really enjoyed rifle shooting as they have never done it before. The netball tournament was well organised although some of the umpires were too lenient, which is OK for younger players but not for years 10 and 11. A stricter, but fairer approach would have been appreciated. | 31 March 2022 | |

| Science Museum | An excellent visit - especially the Wonderlab | 30 March 2022 | |
| PGL Little Canada | Most activity leaders were brilliant. One was not (possibly hungover). PGL management onsite informed. Safeguarding was supported at all points and all children had a brilliant time overall. Not all the activities for open (covid, and not all staff trained on all activities) so not everything we wanted was available. | 30 March 2022 | |

| RHS Garden Hyde Hall | Excellent trip - staff all very welcoming and knowledgeable. Safe and secure venue. | 30 March 2022 | |

| The Golden Hinde Educational Trust | Very good link with our Explorers topic. | 30 March 2022 | |
| York Museums Trust - Yorkshire Museum | Gardens where lovely however the museum was closed because of repairs | 30 March 2022 | |
| Science Museum | The museum is excellent, with plenty to see. I would recommend to obtain a map and plan the route beforehand and also to book tickets for the Wonderlab, as this is an interactive section of the museum. Unfortunately, it was booked nine months in advance, so we were unable to buy any tickets for our visit. | 30 March 2022 | |

| Crosby Hall Educational Trust | Very successful trip. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Science Museum | There was plenty to see in the museum and the IMAX experience was amazing. Unfortunately, we could not get tickets for the Wonder Lab as it had a long waiting list. I would recommend planning the trip beforehand, as we lost some time deciding where to go first. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Glasshouses | Children had a great trip and enjoyed their visit. There were a variety of plants, trees and flowers for children to explore. Plenty of outdoor space for children to play and facilities were good, clean and easily accessible. | 30 March 2022 | |
| JCA Condover Hall | Certain aspects of Condover Hall were great. The accommodation was in dorms of up to 10 beds, the downside is that there is only 1 shower and toilet per dorm. There was a good variety of food and the specific needs of those with different dietary needs were well catered for. The indoor and outdoor day and evening activities were well supervised and the instructors gave clear instructions. The netball was played over two sites with a good walk between them. This meant that staff had to be split between the two areas which wasn’t ideal. Overall, the weekend was enjoyed by all. | 30 March 2022 | |
