| PGL Bawdsey Manor | Very supportive staff who engaged well with our students | 20 September 2021 | |
| PGL Bawdsey Manor | We had a hugely successful trip. The instructors supported our children wonderfully and the food was tailored to our dietary requirements. The one issue we had was the ventilation in Fulmar. It was extremely hot and the children struggled to sleep due to the temperatures - especially in the smaller rooms with up to 6 beds. We were also informed that a room on our floor was for the use of another school. It was not required in the end, but we did see this as a safeguarding risk + covid risk also. | 20 September 2021 | |

| PGL Windmill Hill | The centre had very well established routines linked to their risk assessments. All were shared with school staff. Staff were professional and knew their roles and responsibilities and all carried them out well. All spaces were of a high cleanliness standard with good ventilation. | 19 September 2021 | |
| Andrew Simpson Centre Portland | Superb staff, very well organised and confident working with children of this age with a variety of needs. Katie in particular worked hard to support children to get back on the water when their confidence dipped. Drew had excellent pace and explanations which kept the children engaged throughout. | 19 September 2021 | |
| Wildside Experience | Superb venue. Couldn't do enough to support us both pre and during the visit. Staff were supported during the visit and able to relax and "be" with the children as the Wildside staff were so confident and organised. Itinerary was expertly planned and very good value for money. | 19 September 2021 | |

| Kingswood Staffordshire | Excellent staff who engaged the children in exciting, safe activities. A compact site well suited to our group. A good range of activities. Accommodation did the job but perhaps in need of a lick of paint/modernising a little as some parts were a bit tired. An enjoyable trip. | 18 September 2021 | |

| Longridge | We had a fantastic 3 days at Longridge. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The activities, which were run by their staff, were well organised, engaging, fun, challenging and adapted to meet the needs of individuals as necessary. The only negative about Longridge is that it is a little run-down and in need of some TLC! That is why it got 4, rather than 5, stars. | 16 September 2021 | |
