| Thorpe Woodlands Adventure Centre | It was a lovely two days. The children really enjoyed being in the forest area and the leaders were great at adapting to our needs. The leaders were very hands on with the children. This time, we stayed in the pods. I think that these would be better suited for older children (UKS2 and beyond) as when they needed the toilet at night they had to get dressed, reorientate themselves, and walk through the rain. They coped, but it meant that Mrs Thomas got very little sleep. We also found it hard to support and monitor the children getting up from our pod (they were very well insulated though!). Given age of the children, I would recommend booking the residential centre next time. | 01 October 2024 | |

| Equity | The behaviour of the group was excellent throughout the trip. Pre-trip meetings to discuss registration groups, rooming and general expectations was important. Sharing the itinerary with the group on satchel:one in advance was advantageous. Asking the students to create their own WhatsApp trip group was great so they could communicate messages of meeting times and expectations between them in case some had forgotten. Free time was only permitted in groups of three or more for accountability. Objectives were met and exceeded. The expertise of all guides was outstanding. The students were mainly self-sufficient and will have learnt valuable organisational skills, independence, teamwork and resilience. The order of the itinerary was perfect - I would recommend this for future trips. The Hotel is excellent. The food was of a high standard, the rooms were comfortable, clean and modern, the staff were helpful and the location superb. The packed lunches were very helpful and we would recommend continuing with this arrangement. Whilst the staff felt the equity day-to-day guide was not always needed, we did think he was essential in some parts. Possibly take a smaller contingency. We did not have any major incidences, so it will be one to carefully consider for future trips. Ensure Equity request English speaking guides at all venues as we had to wait for the Salt Mines to source one delayed the group by 40 minutes). Discuss with Equity what to do if the steward at Heathrow is not there to call the coach for the group. We contacted the coach company, but it was very late and Heathrow was not able to support or signpost us to help. Ensure we liaise with school about staff cars that are left on school site so that the overflow car park is accessible with the code. We will be writing a letter to parents/carers to praise and commend the group. We will also ask pupils to complete a feedback form to help us better understand their views of the trip. | 30 September 2024 | |
