"Honestly, this is such a great opportunity to get to know SKA in advance of a transition to Secondary school. My child takes time to feel confident, and likes time to process information. I am not aware of any other local schools offering something like this prior to putting down choices at the beginning of Year 6 and we are so grateful for this opportunity. It is heartwarming to see the time and thought that you have put into this transition process, it is such an excellent offer and gives me so much confidence about the way you support children in your school. Thank you so much."

"Amazing experience! He loved Art and Chemistry the most."

"I thought the three days were brilliant - the girls really enjoyed it and it’s given them a sense of calm about secondary school - they were previously nervous about the whole thing, and this gave them something to be excited about, so thank you!"

"Thank you so much! My son absolutely loved the experience, was nervous at first and the initial first day felt a bit overwhelming but it was such a wonderful opportunity to experience the range of activities, the number of children and the scale of a secondary school. Such a good experience for preparing them for moving onto secondary.

"Thank you, [my son] really enjoyed the two days experience and came home happy each day.  Will make the transition to Secondary School so much easier with such positive memories"

"It was superb and really appreciate all the staff and students taking time out of their Easter Holidays to give our year 5 kids the chance to experience a 'big school'. It was fabulous and they all bounced out saying it was BRILLIANT!"
