YHA Ironbridge Coalport | | Good food and good service after a slow first evening. The rooms were just the right size for the pupils and facilities perfectly satisfactory. It is well-located for the Ironbridge Gorge museums all within a short coach ride away, you can also walk to Blists Hill from here, some of our group took advantage of that! | 08 September 2022 |
Blists Hill Victorian Town | | We did three workshops here that were all great. The candle dipping and printing were great practical ones. The school room experience in particular was excellent for a comparison to their own experience of school. We were well looked after by the staff who hosted us for the day as a school. Sadly the amusements were closed and we weren't informed of that ahead of time. | 08 September 2022 |
Jackfield Museum | | Museum was dull but the tile making workshop was well worth the visit. An excellent activity on which to finish the trip and they had been in touch months before so we had our designs ready to go having worked on them in art class at school. | 08 September 2022 |

PGL Little Canada | | It was a disappointing trip. PGL has decided to change their menu and therefore their was no hot food for breakfast and a few of the lunchtimes. I felt our children were hungry as the activities were very physical and therefore, a proper hot food menu should have ben supplied as stated at the time of booking. There was also a lack of qualified instructors at the time which meant that our programme of activities were limited. We had chosen the location for the water sport activities and were only offered kayaking (with some children missed out on dur to a windy day!). The activities were very similar - lots of team building / running around the site. The Group Leader also lacked direction and we found that our own staff were far more engaging and forward thinking with our children than he was. | 08 September 2022 |

World Challenge | | I could write so much here - I shall try and drop Mike H a direct email at some point with the some thoughts and feedback on what went well and what didn't on the trip, especially as one suspects that more schools will be looking to restart World Challenge over the next year or so. On the whole, we had a great trip, but it was tough. One of my comments is that, an 8 day ski trip is one thing, but a 21 day trip, 5000 miles away from home, is another. | 06 September 2022 |
