Testimonials
The trip to The Towers has been perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip. It is the small touches, like getting the kids laying the table and highlighting food waste which really help to show the fantastic ethos of The Towers. The children have learnt so much about resilience and teamwork, whilst creating memories that will last a lifetime. We can only thank you and look forward to returning next year. – Duncombe School

So good with the kids. Staff felt confident to support. It was so good, it made us reflect on our own teaching and how we can be a bit more ‘Towers’. So friendly. Excellent communication throughout. Great with kids. Excellent meals and kitchen staff. Evening staff were very helpful too. High quality facilities. – Willaston Primary School
