| YHA York | We were not allocated all rooms in the same location of the hostel and had a small part of our group in an area located in a different part of the building accessed by a different staircase. Also one of the rooms allocated was not suitable for out visit as they were outside of the secured area we had been given. | 12 April 2022 | |

| Jamie's Farm | All young people thrived at the farm and the difference in the young people over the week was clear to see and hear as they spoke about how they had grown in confidence, socialising, developed a ' can do attitude where they were more willing to give things a go ' . The staff at Jamie's Farm as always were excellent giving the support and nurture to our young people so they could flourish. | 12 April 2022 | |

| Portsmouth Gymnastics Centre | We're very lucky to have one of the country's top Gymnastics venues just down the road from our school. I think our students really enjoyed the experience and am hopeful of this arrangement becoming a regular fixture come next academic year. I'll try to make that happen! | 11 April 2022 | |

| Conisbrough Castle | The children really enjoyed exploring the castle. The staff were very knowledgeable and informative. The visit was well organised. Disappointed that the staff in the gift shop area made unnecessary comments regarding the children not taking money to spend despite the situation being explained. They were overheard saying 'Come back with your parents and make sure you bring some money next time.' | 10 April 2022 | |
| PGL Osmington Bay | Superb location and facilities. Staff catered well for our revision group. | 10 April 2022 | |

| Celtic Harmony | It was a fantastic trip where all the children were thoroughly engaged, had so much fun and expanded their learning all about Prehistory! | 09 April 2022 | |

| Standon Bowers Outdoor Education Centre | The centre and staff were excellent as always. The only complaint we had was around the cleaning which wasn't up to the standard that we have expected in the past. This wasn't consistent over the weekend however. | 08 April 2022 | |

| Oldham Coliseum | The children had a great time. Only downside was being rushed out of the coliseum when we were waiting for coaches. The coliseum catered for this by putting us into the 'bar' area where the children could safely wait until their coach arrived. | 08 April 2022 | |
| Colchester Zoo | 07 April 2022 | ||
| Black Country Living Museum | The museum staff were well organised and met the coach straight away. The guides were very helpful and informative and the parts of the site they showed us were relevant to the learning experience we required. The lunch facilities were adequate. The timings of the day worked well and the sessions in the Victorian school and the rag rug making were excellent. I would recommend this as an educational visit again for Year 5 | 07 April 2022 | |

| Chessington World of Adventures Resort | Year 11 students enjoyed their day. Website not very informative - various parts of the park were closed which was not advertised. The cafe we chose as a meeting point was closed which caused problems on the day. Had to relocate and then get the message to 130 students! Could do with an allocated, covered area (maybe with heaters in winter?) to use as emergenct meeting point. | 07 April 2022 | |

| Banham Zoo | It was a lovely day and the facilities were great. It would have been nice to have somewhere to store our bags while we toured. It was nice to go on a weekday when the area wasn't so crowded as it made the animals more accessible (visibly) to the children. The workshop was good for the children to have ands-on experiences. | 07 April 2022 | |

| Field Studies Council - Amersham | The venue had great facilities and was well organised. The children had a good day. I think there could have been another activity included in the day to keep things busy and moving. | 06 April 2022 | |
| Hudnall Park Outdoor Centre | Everyone had a fantastic time visiting Hudnall Park Outdoor Centre. The team at the centre went above and beyond to ensure all our children had an incredible experience. From the pre-visit to the second we left and got on the bus everyone made us feel welcome and well informed. The centre itself is great value for money and both the children and staff loved the accommodation and food on offer. The activities were all really interesting and exciting and really allowed the children to gain new and inspiring life experiences. | 06 April 2022 | |
