NST Travel Group | | NST were utterly useless when it transpired that the hostel that they put us in had an entire floor (2nd floor) affected by bedbugs. They were unable to find us an alternative accommodation and staff had to give up their rooms so that the students could move out of the 2 rooms affected. They also arranged us a tour of the Bernabeu stadium which was undergoing construction work so we couldn't really see all the parts of the stadiums like we did back in 2020. it was utterly disappointing and they had nothing to say for themselves other than 'they didn't know'. NST and the Ventura Hostel were both awful, incompetent and we will be asking for some of the money back as a result. We will not be using the hostel again and I very much doubt NST will be working with us next year | 14 February 2023 |

Conway Centre - Anglesey | | Albeit our residential visit fulfilled our needs and objectives in terms of GCSE work, unfortunately, there were a number of safety/security issues which tarnished our experience over the weekend. These concerns have been reported to our Headteacher, Designated Safeguarding Lead, Educational Visit Co-ordinator and Head of Conway Centre. Ultimately, if these safeguarding/security issues are not resolved by the Conway Centre, I would not recommend taking students to the Centre. | 10 February 2023 |
Streatham Ice Arena | | During the trip a member of staff fell over. The First Aid team at venue attended, assessed the situation which resulted in myself taking the member of staff to a nearby Accident and Emergency Croydon Mayday. Following an x-ray a conclusion was that the member of staff had broken a bone in his leg and 2 chips in the ankle bone. | 10 February 2023 |
