| Ryton Pools Country Park | A great day out, well resourced activities. Children absolutely loved it- could've been linked to stone age a little more. However, this wasn't the stone age day activity as that had been postponed due to Covid which is probably why. | 16 December 2021 | |

| Go Ape Bracknell Continuous Belay Course | the trip had both advantages and disadvantages. We took a year seven cohorts on this trip and I would not recommend taking older students on this trip. The high rope course was excellent and the students thoroughly enjoyed this however this only lasted for one hour. It must also be noted that the team games only lasted for approximately 45 minutes. With these two activities being the main focus of the day it left a large amount of time which teachers and parent volunteers had to fill with other activities. I think clearer structure within this free time would have been better for example setting a treasure hunt around the forest or other clear activities such as den building. The area did provide a great amount of things to do for example the year seven students enjoyed playing in the play park and playing with the sticks in the forest but as I have said some more structure to this free time would have been appreciated. it must also he said that some of the staff at the site guiding the team activities were not particularly enthusiastics and did not lead the tasks very well. Fortunately we had year sevens with us and they were very good at simply enjoying themselves and playing in every time but I fear any older age group would not have been able to entertain themselves so independently in these large amounts of free time. Otherwise it was a good venue beautiful surroundings and a very easy coach ride there. There were also good facilities in the local area such as toilets and a cafe. Ultimately in some ways it felt like quite a lot of money for quite small activities that the students got to do but nonetheless that they very much enjoyed their day. I was also very pleased with the communications with goape and would recommend the person I liaised with. | 13 December 2021 | |
