| Select School Travel | Location good for intermediate/good beginners, limited slopes for absolute starters, spent a long time on two slopes before being able to progress. Only one black run in use due to limited snow/time of year but intermediate group was pushed. This group received little coaching, beginner groups received a little more, initial progress was slow until students taken further up the mountain. | 21 April 2023 | |

| Halsbury Travel Ltd | 2) Accommodation – very good location but there were a few issues with food and rooming. This was also a resort with ‘motel’ style rooms, so safeguarding was harder with students being outside when they stepped outside of their rooms. | 21 April 2023 | |

| Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse | Great workshops, engaging leaders and activities. Lots of opportunities for the children to interact with artefacts and dress up in period costumes. Children got to make topic related crafts to take home. Leaders were subject specialists and greatly supported the children's learning. We will be going back! | 20 April 2023 | |

| NST Travel Group | In previous years we have had a fabulous experience with NST, but unfortunately this trip did not live up to expectations and I feel the service provided was not up to standard. The impacts of covid have undoubtedly caused some of this, and feel like a lot of the staff were inexperienced and were dealing with too many tours, which meant simple tasks and information was overlooked. I felt like I constantly had to keep an eye on things and tripled check proceedings, which when you are paying someone else to do this, feels quite frustrating. | 19 April 2023 | |

| Eureka | Eureka were very good and very organized. We were met off the coach and separated into 2 main groups one each with a lead teacher and 4 other adults. We got our lunches and coats taken and stored in bins for the day (or until lunch). The way the day worked was that one group went round the interactive museum first and then had a work shop and the other group did the opposite. We had a senses work shop which linked to our living things science and how animals use their senses as well as humans. Everything ran smoothly and Eureka staff were well prepared and knowledgeable about everything. | 19 April 2023 | |

| Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Glasshouses | I do not feel that this is a full day visit. The glass houses are beautiful and the talk given by stay was very informative and pitched at the right level, however, there is not much else to do if the weather is bad. A half day visit would be better | 19 April 2023 | |
