It was phenomenally successful. When you have the opportunity to sign up for the programme, I couldn't recommend it more!!! It was brilliant.

Using 'The Big Step' as part of our Transition programme was a fantastic decision. As a very busy senior leader they made it so easy for me, they organised the marketing, bookings and groupings, they also dealt with all the parent queries and successfully organised the whole week with minimal input from our staff. Immediately, on the first day we decided it would be annual partnership, the staff on the programme were high quality practitioners and the there has been a marked positive impact on our Year 7 entry. Those students who attended 'The Big Step' transition week recorded the highest attendance and engagement in the following Autumn term compared to any other co-hort. As a result of the programme we have also developed other strong links. I absolutely recommend all schools using 'The Big Step'.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for providing our students with an amazing start to West Exe School. It's been a really positive week and the students have thoroughly enjoyed it and benefited from it. Your team have been great and I can't speak more highly of them and their work commitment and leadership.

I'd just like to say thank you so much for the summer school. I knew it was going to be good, but just not this good. The staff were absolutely outstanding, and the children were amazing due to the tight and well-planned programme and excellent leadership of the staff. I can't thank you enough.
