| The Bushcraft Company - Boughton Woods | The Bushcraft staff were amazing and the students had great fun. The toilet per student ratio was low, and the toilets and shower need upgrading. Conditions were not great. Food was ok, but it would be helpful if a bit of salt and pepper were added to the food or be made available for those who need it. Based on my observation and the observation of my team, the Bushcraft staff seem to lack safeguarding training similar to what teachers receive. I thing that this would be useful for the Bushcraft staff, seeing that they regularly interact with students. Overall, the trip was good. | 22 July 2024 | |

| Wildwood Kent | The venue was in an appropriate setting for children to access and not too big so they could get round all of it in the half day we were there. It could have had more access to toilets around the park. Children were engaged as most of the animals could be seen. I liked it, that the exit didn't mean we had to go through the gift shop, as this can cause a lot of behaviours for children wanting something they might not be able to have. | 22 July 2024 | |

| Madame Tussauds | Was nice for students to see but not sure how much they gained educationally | 22 July 2024 | |
| ZSL London Zoo | The fact that students had to be accompanied at all times made this quite difficult as the students found this restrictive and difficult. The coach parking arrangements also made it difficult with arranging pick up and drop off. | 22 July 2024 | |

| YHA Ironbridge Coalbrookdale | The communal areas are a little ragged now, but the base is good. We use this as a sole purpose and you feel very secure at the site. The staff are very helpful but are only available during meal times. | 21 July 2024 | |
| YHA Ironbridge Coalport | This site is more open to the general public. We requested it to be sole purpose due to safe guarding risks within communal spaces. | 21 July 2024 | |

| ZSL London Zoo | I loved that they shared educational trip maps showing places for large groups to eat, toilets, quiet spaces. really helpful. As we came in they gave 2 large bin bags for us to put rubbish into once we had eaten our lunch. Very organised. They came round and collected it. | 20 July 2024 | |

| Manor Adventure Norfolk Lakes | Dinner choices were poor. | 20 July 2024 | |
| NST Travel Group | Prado museum was difficult to book in England, despite communication being between them and a Spanish speaker. We paid £1 per person for headphones, as per NST directions, but then were told we also needed to pay for a guide. Prado refused to refund our £45 because we returned to them 45 minutes later, despite explaining that we could not leave the pupils unattended. Reina Sofia museum was much easier to organise. Groups need to enter around the back. Warner Brothers theme park is a good size to take pupils as it is not took big. | 19 July 2024 | |

| Imperial War Museum Duxford | An excellent day made special by having a tour guide for the whole duration of the visit. All students were able to access information. | 19 July 2024 | |
| Bletchley Park Trust | There is a lot of reading required to access information. This worked well for some students who were totally immersed in the experience but not for all. Students with a keen interest in history especially enjoyed the day. | 19 July 2024 | |
| Delta Force Head Office | On the day, the site team were great and worked hard to deal with 75 students and staff. The pre-check forms were onerous and lengthy and didn't need to be when dealing with a large group. Pricing was quite a lot for students. | 19 July 2024 | |
