Testimonials


“It was amazing and honestly mean it when I say one of the best school trips, I’ve been on in my years of teaching. The children loved it and the activities were pacey, engaging and enjoyable. The Staff were superb and the class were really enthusiastic about it all. The teas and coffees for the adults were VERY much appreciated and the children loved the hot chocolate and popcorn.
Thanks to everyone involved – it was a brilliant experience.”
- Mr D May, Assistant Headteacher, Guilden Sutton Church of England Primary School.
