| Holland Park Ecology Centre | This was a really great trip. The centre leaders are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The workshop was pitched well for the age of the student. The activities including pond dipping and mini beast hunt are well planned and resourced with due regard for safe guarding. The centre itself is attractive with lots of models of animals for the students to see. | 17 May 2023 | |

| Field Studies Council - Margam Discovery Centre | Whilst the venue was not in the most scenic of locations, the centre itself and its vicinity to the beach and surrounding grassland and woodland made it a perfect site for the biology field trip. We would definitely like to return there in future. The setting for the centre in a large park does also eliminate the worry of student’s wandering off and was an excellent venue for moring runs which some students enjoyed with Mr Lawrence. Rooms were modern, clean and very secure, with key cards to open doors and key code locks to get into the building. Evening supervision was straightforward as staff rooms were on the same corridor as student rooms and we were all within the same building. Beds were bunks, though comfortable, and each room had an ensuite bathroom. Rooming was a bit tighter than last year, and male staff did end up sharing a room but this was not an issue. We would still prefer individual rooming in future. FSC provided all of the equipment needed, which saved a huge amount of time at LGS, where we have previously had to make up equipment boxes and carry trolley-fulls of keys, clipboards, ranging poles, quadrats and tape measures from the store room to the coach (and back again). It was a real delight to not have to do this. In addition, Margam had waterproof tablets that were used in the field to record data. These were fantastic and data could be quickly collated on the computer once we returned to the centre, freeing up more time for analysis and enabling centre staff to cater flexibly to our needs. The only real down-side to Margam was the lack of communal space. There are small common rooms available, but these are only really suitable for around 20 people. We were fortunate, as the weather was so pleasant students could go outside. We were allocated the (slightly) bigger common room and students used this responsibly but this could be an issue if weather turned for the worse. | 17 May 2023 | |

| YHA Ironbridge Coalport | YHA Coalport is looking a bit tired. the lounge area has ripped sofas, some of the bathrooms and showers were out of order and the food service was a bit slow. However it was comfortable enough to spend 2 nights. | 16 May 2023 | |
| Coalport Museum | The children enjoyed the owl pottery making however the museum tour needs to be more interactive. They had done a scavenger hunt, but more information could be given about the importance of the location. | 16 May 2023 | |

| Foxburrow Farm - Suffolk Wildlife Trust | I felt that the safety of the site was an aspect for SEN pupils, with lots of hazards such as water, ditches etc. This would not be suitable for children who climb or explore feely although the activities offered were wonderful. | 16 May 2023 | |
