The Big Step- Year 6-7 Transition Programme

The Big Step is a fun and supportive summer programme designed especially for children moving from Year 6 to Year 7. Starting secondary school is a big milestone, and our aim is to help children feel more confident, make new friends, and develop skills that will help them settle into their new school. Through a mix of exciting activities, team challenges, sports, creative workshops, and confidence-building sessions, children can enjoy a fantastic week while preparing for the next stage of their education. Since 2019, The Big Step has helped thousands of children across the South West make a positive start to secondary school. Our programmes are delivered by qualified teachers and experienced staff who understand the challenges and opportunities that come with this important transition. Whether your child is excited, nervous, or somewhere in between, The Big Step provides a welcoming environment where they can have fun, build confidence, and take their next big step with a smile.
