| Manor Adventure Lockerbie | We have made numerous visits to Lockerbie Manor and it never disappoints. The centre is excellent and the staff even better. It really gets the best from the children while giving them enjoyment. I wouldn't go anywhere else! The children had a great time in difficult circumstances (Corona virus) as they have had previously (Beast from the East). | 26 March 2020 | |
| 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. In difficult circumstances this year, with the Corona virus hanging over us, the children had a great time. If this was their last week at Primary School it was a great way to finish. | 26 March 2020 | |

| Holt Hall | The staff were very professional all through the experience from pre visit to the day we left. The accommodation was perfect for our group, with enough guidance to make the experience enjoyable and educational. Particular praise must go to the catering department who could not do enough to make sure that we were all included. | 26 March 2020 | |
| YHA Malham | Cancelled due to Covid-19. YHA very supportive in rearranging. | 26 March 2020 | |
| Sea Life Adventure | We had a great day, with the children learning a lot. There was a great space upstairs for children in eat in, although it did become very dirty and messy after the first school had been through, which meant we had to eat lunch with mess on the floor and on the tables. Otherwise, it was a fantastic trip. | 25 March 2020 | |

| 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 | |

| Kingswood Staffordshire | Organisation at Kingswood Staffordshire is poor. Activity groups were too large which meant children waited for long periods of time whilst getting extremely cold. The site seems to be run by a very young and inexperienced group of people. We also have questions about safety and activity regulations at the site. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. | 18 March 2020 | |
