| City of London - Hampstead Heath Education Centre | Usually very organised, and informative sessions. This one was not quite as relevant at the previous ones because, in error, they prepared the wrong session for us. However, the students still were able to use much of what they had learned in the classroom in a practical setting. So the trip was still worth while. | 25 May 2021 | |

| Hertfordshire Zoo | A very enjoyable trip, however the organisation from the Paradise Wildlife Park had a knock on effect for our school as they had made errors with payment, meaning time was lost whilst this issue was resolved. The dinosaur park was extremely worthwhile for the boys, acting as a great tool for the boys to recap and share prior knowledge. This created a real buzz for learning. | 17 May 2021 | |
