Where do kids from IoW go?

[Rapunzel15]

Not really an AIBU at all but its a burning question.
So pretty much all year 6 kids go to the Isle of Wight as their residential trip but where do the kids from the Isle of Wight go for theirs? Its eating me up inside not knowing!

ILovewould that have been CEC by any chance? And yes to foot passengers and get the coach the other side, I've done it quite a few times although sometimes minibuses on the ferries work out quite economically.

It was, Elephant, my friend's girls are there. Unfortunately, our primary doesn't have a minibus , but location wise it's easy to get to the ferry for drop off so it works!

I'm from the midlands and we didn't go anywhere. I didn't feel deprived till I read this thread. You lot are obviously dead posh!

My kids (Home Counties dontcha know!) went to Osmington Bay.

Dead posh?
I'm south London. Mine went to France Holland and Austria. I drew the line at Canada to ski. And no not posh.
I've been to the iow many times when I lived down there in that forest with the wild horses

Osmington Bay or The wilderness Centre (Forest of Dean)

Never heard of anyone going to IoW

Two of my children went to the IOW in Year 6, despite the fact that they attended different Primary School...so it does happen! 😉

I think Brighton schools go to IOW for year 5 residential.

Cheshire kids go to Wales. North Staffs kids go to South Staffs.

I remember in l2 so we would of been 8. 2e went on a residential trip... 2 miles down the rd 😂 we drove past half the girls houses enroute.

Still dont understand how took us an hour. They must of drove around alot to make it seem further

Surprised no-one has mentioned Swanage......we all went to Swanage

Kent school - go to Kent in Y6
Norfolk in Y5

Elephant just outside of shanklin at parkdean resorts Landguard

cluedoaddict you couldnt find anything to do?! Ive never known anywhere with so many activities close by! We went to monkey haven, the donkey sanctuary, shanklin chine, the beach, we didnt have time to do everything we wanted in just a week

My DD went the IoW for her residential. I did too.

Haha - I wonder! All the kids in our local area go to the IoW too!

I went to IOW in the final year of Primary. South London. Loved it!

My Y6 went to Forest of Dean

From Surrey should add

We live in Cheshire and our DD went to the Isle of Man. My niece and nephews lived in Derbyshire and they went to the Isle of Wight so the dividing line must run somewhere through the midland counties, Mind you most other schools in our area went to North Wales so I guess DD got lucky.

Hmmmm thinking a week a Dalguise has short changed my DC.

We never got offered the Isle of Wight

Is this a competition?
As long as whatever they did, they had fun
