| 20-21 Visual Arts Centre | Highly recommend this Arts Centre for a future school trip. The venue was free to enter and the staff were very professional. They communicated well and gave me all their risk assessments which were thorough. They had a dedicated workshop room, which was secure although a small fee was charged for this. They also had staff on hand to help throughout the visit and if I wanted a member of staff to deliver a session they were also available for a small fee. The facilities at the centre were fantastic too with a café, toilets and art materials, which my pupils could use if required. Underfloor heating throughout meant my pupils could draw next to the artworks on the floor, keeping warm. We were shown around the exhibition by the artist who helped them understand how to start a career in Art & Design. He introduced them to augmented reality which he uses in his sculptures and they engaged on a computer game he designed using virtual reality. The centre left amazing feedback of my pupils on their Twitter page, which the school and myself were grateful for. A thoroughly enjoyable day filled with lasting memories to help my pupils develop their love of the arts. | 21 November 2021 | |

| The Paper Trail, Frogmore Paper Mill | We had a wonderful trip and our pupils really enjoyed learning how to make paper and having a go. The boat race was a really exciting end to our day. We do believe the trip would be more suited to an older year group as there were some non-practical elements to the day which were a bit challenging for our Year 1 pupils to follow. | 19 November 2021 | |
