You've misread the type of children they saw - an awful lot of schools, like yours, did (do?) trips to Isle of Wight and that activity centre, but the comment you replied to was talking about seeing kids who lived on the IoW doing their daily (presumably) commute back from their school on the mainland.

I know that PGS students sometimes travel over from the IoW, but is that mainly because it's one of the only private schools in the area? Do state school students make the journey as well?

But TNG ended in 1994..
Depending on when this was, I might have been one of those kids. Back in⦠1995?[0] My school in Havant sent us there for a week to some activity centre whose name I forget, where I was knocked unconscious by a trampoline.
