"Absolutely fantastic!"

“The feedback we received about ‘The Big Step’ from parents and children was absolutely fantastic. We received incredibly positive feedback from everyone about the week of activities that they took part in.

Parents commented on how much more confident their children were about joining year 7 and how it moved them from being nervous to really looking forward to it”
