Virtual Pioneer 2020

Virtual Pioneer 2020

Welcome to our Virtual Pioneer programme, designed to support Year 6 students with transition to secondary school.

This year’s  programme will be very different, we know, but we are working hard to support students and help them get to know us and our site, reduce any anxiety they might be feeling and hopefully fuel the excitement about the new challenges ahead.

Over four weeks, we will deliver the programme of activities and key information outlined below. You will find the resources on this page, organised by week but you can access the resources at any time.

None of the activities are compulsory but it is here to help your child prepare for joining us in September.
