| 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 | |

| Whitwell Hall Country Centre | The staff were very accomodating and worked hard to ensure all adults and children were happy, with excellent food and suitable activities. The house itself was quite dirty in some areas, with cobwebs, dirty floors and some mouldy food found under beds. In one of the staff bedrooms was a distinct smell of mould and damp, which meant the member of staff had to sleep elsewhere the next night. | 29 September 2024 | |

| Natural History Museum | Booked on the evolution workshop. Workshop was quite quick and I'm not sure we would book the workshop again. Just felt a bit rushed and I am not sure that my pupils got the most out of it. One of the areas we needed after the workshop to complete a task given in the workshop was closed. Slightly disappointed that I have been to the museum twice this year and both times the escalator through the earth has been closed. The T-Rex was closed this time as well. Maybe I'm getting older but used to be my favourite museum for a trip but I'm not sure it is anymore. | 29 September 2024 | |
