‘Thank you for all of your help in organizing such a fantastic residential trip to Crosby Lakeside for our year 5 class – especially at such short notice!

This was the first time that we have ever been able to take one of our year 5 classes on a residential trip and it was a huge success. All the staff at the centre were brilliant at leading supporting and motivating our pupils (who don’t always make it easy).’
