| 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 | |

| Cadbury World | It is an enjoyable trip for many reasons. The children enjoyed the interactive rooms and activities and many liked finding out the history of Cadburys and how it all began. The playground was extremely popular and we were able to spend extra time there.

| Laches Wood Outdoor Education Centre | An excellent visit was had by the children and staff. All the staff were friendly, supportive and professional around the children, they briefed the children on site safety, expectations and covid-19 procedures, and challenged them to take part in an encouraging manner. There were one way systems in place for covid-19, lots of hand sanitiser stations around the site and tables were cleaned between each school in the dinner hall. A fire drill was carried out in order for the children to know what to do in case of an actual alarm and all safety expectations for activities were outlined in a child friendly manner. The dormitory doors to outside were able to be alarmed at night and children knew location of staff at night if necessary. Supporting visit staff and centre staff were aware of any medical/pastoral needs and a useful introductory briefing given to all visiting staff by lead instructor. | 27 March 2022 | |

| Science Museum | The kids absolutely loved the Wonderlab and it was clear that it helped the science to come alive. They all used scientific enquiry whilst carrying out activities. They also enjoyed the Space exhibit. Many of the children had never been to the Science Museum before but definitely want to go back. | 26 March 2022 |
