| Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium | It was a wonderful trip the children were fully engaged and could apply their classroom knowledge to extend the experience. The planetarium show and classroom activity were educational and interactive. It was very well organised and the communication given by the science centre was clear and informative. We would highly recommend this trip in future. The rocket workshop was interactive and engaging however could be made more exciting if the rockets flew further. | 02 February 2022 | |

| Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter | A fantastic venue with loads to offer throughout and loads to looks at. Only downside was lack of communication from the venue as no contactable phone number and struggled to get hold of them. | 31 January 2022 | |

| RCT Windsor Castle | We were not allowed into the castle. We were a school group of 8 students and 4 staff. Six of the 8 students had Advantage cards and all four staff had them. So we only expected to pay for two students. However, at the entrance we were told school groups are not allowed to enter the castle using Advantage cards. This was particularly annoying because I had visited the castle on my own on Monday 13 Dec and explained how we were coming and had only one and a half hours for the visit before stopping for lunch before the pantomime. I asked for advice as to which areas of the castle to visit. The staff I spoke to were excellent and advised how to get the best out of a trip (with an emphasis on Henry VIII). One guide in particular threw herself into helping me compile a few questions for the students to answer about details in each of the rooms we intended to visit. Yet no one mentioned Advantage cards were not allowed. However, fortunately, I had a plan B ready with me, and the weather was dry, and copies of a multiple choice questionnaire, so each student was able to complete one, and learn about some of the sights of Windsor - statues, Guild Hall, Bachelors Acre, Queen Victoria statue etc. We were also still able to watch the soldiers leave the barracks and march off to the castle for the changing of the Guard. Then the pantomime, fortunately, exceeded all expectations. We had front row seats in the stalls and the production was as clever as it was comical with the result that it eclipsed any disappointment about not getting into the castle. | 30 January 2022 | |
| Martin Mere | Planned to have an hour to explore independently to get back for normal school finishing time - but in consideration, more time would have been good to spend there. Many aspects unexplored. | 30 January 2022 | |

| The Living Rainforest | Very interactive for the children and they were able to learn lots about adaptations through the workshop they took part in. The staff members were very helpful and informative. The area where we were able to keep our belongings and have lunch was central to the rainforest meaning we could easily access our belongings when required. | 28 January 2022 | |
| Butser Ancient Farm | We enjoyed our trip to Butser Ancient Farm. It was very well planned and organised. We were offered a choice of activities to chose from in advance and we were invited to visit the farm before the trip took place to carry out the risk assessment. Children were captivated by the interesting stories from the fact and were happy to excavate to find the evidence and the proof of existence for Stone Age People. | 27 January 2022 | |
