| Science Museum | As always, the children were very engaged and excited to be around the exhibitions. The interactive activities, though limited, provided additional motivation and engagement from the pupils. It was a shame that the exhibition around Materials, which is closely linked with our school topic, was not available at the time. | 10 March 2020 | |

| West Lodge Farm Park | Our requests were met perfectly by the farm. Space was tight for a 4 form entry school so we had lunch in 2 sittings... 30 mins was not long enough with taking off muddy boots and coats etc, so I would consider a longer lunch slot next time for us personally. The children had a fantastic day and lots of spontaneous learning occurred, some children didn't know a chick came from an egg so it was fab to see it first hand. We were able to experience feeding lots of different animals and built in the need for hand washing and personal hygiene as an added bonus. When asked about their favourite part of the day the children commented on feeding the animals, the pig race at the end, the den building and the lamb feeding. We weren't able to go on the tractor ride as it was too muddy, but this didn't detract from the fun of the day! | 09 March 2020 | |

| Ingestre Hall Residential Arts Centre | A wonderful venue with helpful, caring staff throughout. Both children and staff had an enjoyable and fulfilling week. Can't wait to go again! | 09 March 2020 | |
| Glo-Ed | As the trip leader I felt supported throughout the trip by Glo-Ed. On the first day one of the instructors phoned in sick and because of this we were down to three instructors. On the second day we were told that would would be down to three instructors for the entire week. Glo-Ed contacted the ski school and ensured that we did get our full quota of instructors for the end of the week. Whilst away we had a student air lifted to hospital and Glo-Ed were always on hand to support us and give us advice. Before the trip Glo-Ed were very supportive in ensuring that the trip was correctly and thoroughly organised so that our pupil with Dwarfism was catered for and that all our students with dietary requirements were provided with appropriate meals. | 09 March 2020 | |
| European Heritage Tours | The driver was accommodating throughout, flexible. He took us to see the Eiffel tower Thursday night as we had missed the boat ride. Pupils had a chance to take pictures.
