| Go Ape Delamere Forest Park Continuous Belay Course | The course and staff are excellent and 60% of the class loved it. However, there was a much higher than an anticipated portion of the class that just couldn't do it. In fact, they were petrified and only managed to get to the top of the steps. | 03 April 2022 | |

| Laches Wood Outdoor Education Centre | Good facilities and the instructors were great with the children. THe centre offers a range of activities for groups to choose from. | 02 April 2022 | |
| Wandlebury Country Park (Cambridge Past, Present & Future) | We really enjoyed our visit to Wandlebury Country Park. The staff communicated clearly prior to the village and were very engaging during the trip. There was a good range of activities on offer and the children really enjoyed their stay. All of the trip was based outside, including lunch, which was fine for our needs but it was quite a cold day for the children. | 02 April 2022 | |
| Banham Zoo | Great day out for the children and a wonderful talk delivered by a wonderfully engaging education leader. | 01 April 2022 | |
| Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens | Wonderful venue and learning experience for the pupils. We did however encounter an issue with one of the toilet blocks being locked. We did ask for the block of toilets to be opened as our 4 yr olds were needing to use the facilities after a long coach journed. Sadly they kept refusing to open the block with roughly 270 pupils needing to use them. After much discussion they were eventually unlocked but we had to chase around to the other toilet facilities with lots of pupils in tow. Overall a lovely day and enjoyed by all though this did dampen our arrival. | 01 April 2022 | |

| North of England Zoological Society - Chester Zoo | The zoo was brilliant and the pupils had an excellent day. However we arrived late and all found that the workshop went on too long. Considering next year not booking the workshop and us discussing the content of the workshop with the pupils as we walk around. | 01 April 2022 | |

| Plas Gwynant Outdoor Education Centre | The centre is an excellent place for a trip. They have all their information on line so that uploads to evolve and messages to parents were simple. The staff are experienced and adapt the activities as necessary to ensure that students get the best out of their experience but that health and safety considerations are paramount. | 31 March 2022 | |
| Exmoor Adventures | Well organised and ready to receive the group. The instructors related to the group really well and we all had a purposeful and safe experience of the activities. The bikes we used were of top notch. The supervision was superb and they knew how to extend our more competent riders whilst at the same time having empathy for those who were nervous. | 31 March 2022 | |

| Hilltop Outdoor Centre | Clean and safe; suitable accommodation; excellent staff. | 31 March 2022 | |
| Beamish Museum | The Education Lead at the Museum was extremely helpful prior to the visit. A pre visit is a must as your trip leader needs to see the museum, as it is huge, to plan your trip well. Staff extremely helpful on site and the museum itself is really engaging. | 31 March 2022 | |

| The London Eye | Amazing opportunity for our students to visit London and go on the Eye. For some of them it was the first time they'd been on a train and into London. They thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity. | 31 March 2022 | |

| PGL Boreatton Park | Pupils had a brilliant time. The accommodation and food were excellent and there can be no complaints. Activities were good. Maybe more variety of activities would have been good to have offered and activities that pupils rarely have the chance to do outside of school. For example the girls really enjoyed rifle shooting as they have never done it before. The netball tournament was well organised although some of the umpires were too lenient, which is OK for younger players but not for years 10 and 11. A stricter, but fairer approach would have been appreciated. | 31 March 2022 | |

| Science Museum | An excellent visit - especially the Wonderlab | 30 March 2022 | |
| PGL Little Canada | Most activity leaders were brilliant. One was not (possibly hungover). PGL management onsite informed. Safeguarding was supported at all points and all children had a brilliant time overall. Not all the activities for open (covid, and not all staff trained on all activities) so not everything we wanted was available. | 30 March 2022 | |

| RHS Garden Hyde Hall | Excellent trip - staff all very welcoming and knowledgeable. Safe and secure venue. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Fitzwilliam Museum | A well worked out workshop although the groupings were changed at the last minute. The quality of the teaching and resources was good. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Imperial War Museum Duxford | An excellent venue. Staff were organised and visit went without delays or disruptions. There is so much to see and you will definitely need to spend the whole day there to see everything. | 30 March 2022 | |

| The Golden Hinde Educational Trust | Very good link with our Explorers topic. | 30 March 2022 | |
| York Museums Trust - Yorkshire Museum | Gardens where lovely however the museum was closed because of repairs | 30 March 2022 | |
| Science Museum | The museum is excellent, with plenty to see. I would recommend to obtain a map and plan the route beforehand and also to book tickets for the Wonderlab, as this is an interactive section of the museum. Unfortunately, it was booked nine months in advance, so we were unable to buy any tickets for our visit. | 30 March 2022 | |

| Crosby Hall Educational Trust | Very successful trip. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Science Museum | There was plenty to see in the museum and the IMAX experience was amazing. Unfortunately, we could not get tickets for the Wonder Lab as it had a long waiting list. I would recommend planning the trip beforehand, as we lost some time deciding where to go first. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Glasshouses | Children had a great trip and enjoyed their visit. There were a variety of plants, trees and flowers for children to explore. Plenty of outdoor space for children to play and facilities were good, clean and easily accessible. | 30 March 2022 | |
| JCA Condover Hall | Certain aspects of Condover Hall were great. The accommodation was in dorms of up to 10 beds, the downside is that there is only 1 shower and toilet per dorm. There was a good variety of food and the specific needs of those with different dietary needs were well catered for. The indoor and outdoor day and evening activities were well supervised and the instructors gave clear instructions. The netball was played over two sites with a good walk between them. This meant that staff had to be split between the two areas which wasn’t ideal. Overall, the weekend was enjoyed by all. | 30 March 2022 | |

| Chelmsford Museum | The museum was perfect for our curriculum needs and was run smoothly and efficiently by the museum staff. The workshop was educational, engaging and practical for the children. The scavenger hunt around the museum made it purposeful and exciting. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Drusillas Park | Really helpful communication right the way through the process from initial enquiry to post visit resources. Staff were well prepared for us and met us on arrival, ensured we were well looked after throughout. | 30 March 2022 | |
