| Shugborough Outdoor Education Centre | Our Year 4's had the most enjoyable and worthwhile visit to Shugborough for 'Flint and Fire' Stone Age Day. It brought all the learning they'd done in the classroom truly to life. All staff were knowledgeable and friendly, all inspiring the children with different skills. 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 | |
