| Cadbury World | 17 April 2020 | ||
| Cadbury World | We needed longer! I hadn't arranged a workshop. However, we arrived at 10:30. left at 2pm and could easily have spent a further hour. We didn't complete any worksheets so went around the exhibition quicker than we could have done. A few questions for each area would have been useful and Cadbury World provide plenty of educational sheets. | 16 April 2020 | |

| Manor Adventure Lockerbie | We have made numerous visits to Lockerbie Manor and it never disappoints. The centre is excellent and the staff even better.

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.

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 | |
