| Beaulieu Treehouse | Children enjoyed hunting for and collecting minibeasts. The nectar races also engaged them. They enjoyed pond dipping when it was their turn to go, but some children tired of this after a short time, the session length was perhaps a little too long. The setting of the treehouse was a real wow factor for the visit! | 22 September 2021 | |

| Thorpe Park (Day Visits) | The queues for rides were so long that students could only go on a maximum of two of the big rides and each took around 90 minutes to 120 minutes to go on. 5 children couldn't attend last minute due to COVID bubbles closing, and Thorp Park wouldn't do anything to support the school with refunds or reissuing new tickets. | 21 September 2021 | |
| PGL Osmington Bay | A very scenic, clifftop location overlooking Weymouth. Activities were safe, unique for our pupils and very much enjoyed. PGL staff were accommodating and encouraging towards our pupils. | 21 September 2021 | |
| Conkers Discovery | 21 September 2021 | ||
| PGL Bawdsey Manor | The staff were friendly and accommodating, they checked on any special requirements the children might need with each group before the activities. They were then adaptable to their various needs. Food was great and there was plenty of choice, when 'picky' eaters could not find anything they liked, the kitchen was again, very helpful. The bedding was clean and fresh, we did have a problem with mould in one of the rooms, which we were able to leave unoccupied by jiggling the numbers around. Activities were well explained and safety protocols were all in place. Some of the children were pretty exhausted by the end of such busy filled days. | 21 September 2021 | |

| PGL Bawdsey Manor | Very supportive staff who engaged well with our students | 20 September 2021 | |
| PGL Bawdsey Manor | We had a hugely successful trip. The instructors supported our children wonderfully and the food was tailored to our dietary requirements. The one issue we had was the ventilation in Fulmar. It was extremely hot and the children struggled to sleep due to the temperatures - especially in the smaller rooms with up to 6 beds. We were also informed that a room on our floor was for the use of another school. It was not required in the end, but we did see this as a safeguarding risk + covid risk also. | 20 September 2021 | |

| PGL Windmill Hill | The centre had very well established routines linked to their risk assessments. All were shared with school staff. Staff were professional and knew their roles and responsibilities and all carried them out well. All spaces were of a high cleanliness standard with good ventilation. | 19 September 2021 | |
| Andrew Simpson Centre Portland | Superb staff, very well organised and confident working with children of this age with a variety of needs. Katie in particular worked hard to support children to get back on the water when their confidence dipped. Drew had excellent pace and explanations which kept the children engaged throughout. | 19 September 2021 | |
| Wildside Experience | Superb venue. Couldn't do enough to support us both pre and during the visit. Staff were supported during the visit and able to relax and "be" with the children as the Wildside staff were so confident and organised. Itinerary was expertly planned and very good value for money. | 19 September 2021 | |

| Kingswood Staffordshire | Excellent staff who engaged the children in exciting, safe activities. A compact site well suited to our group. A good range of activities. Accommodation did the job but perhaps in need of a lick of paint/modernising a little as some parts were a bit tired. An enjoyable trip. | 18 September 2021 | |
