| Kingswood Colomendy | As the lead teacher, I was disappointed by the lack of activities. We were promised 'course director and activity' time when we arrived. However, the activities were virtually none existent until we complained that the children were getting cold and bored. After that, the leaders were much better and actually planned some activities like aero ball and shooting. There were no drinks stations this year also. | 29 November 2021 | |

| Manor Adventure Norfolk Lakes | A well organised centre. Instructors and other staff were exceptionally helpful and delivered a high quality experience for the children. The food and accommodation was a very high standard. I wouldn't rate the centre 5 stars because there wasn't an allocated meeting room for our school which meant it was very difficult to speak to our whole group together. Also, the organisation of the accommodation was challenging to manage. | 28 November 2021 | |
| Hilltop Outdoor Centre | Incredibly professional with a huge focus on children's safety and wellbeing. All children were included and given the chance to achieve. | 28 November 2021 | |

| Shepreth Wildlife Park | Shepreth was great. The children loved seeing the animals. The talk was not great, all on a screen with no hands on activities for the children. Next time - it would be better to do this trip later in the year, when warmer. | 26 November 2021 | |
