 "Thank you very much for the brilliant days that Year 4 enjoyed at Stansted last week. I really enjoyed bringing our children to Stansted Park as it is such a friendly, hands-on experience for them. The morning was well structured and the children thoroughly enjoyed the 'guess what the object was' quiz. . . ..   Thank you for providing us with such an excellent learning experience. We will certainly be back again"

Mr R. (Riders Junior School).
