The Stepping Up project works with children making the move from primary to secondary school in Weardale, County Durham. This is a rural area, the primary schools are very small and the change, at age 11, to the 1000+ student secondary school can be quite daunting. The project tries to ease the move - how successful it is you may be able to judge from these pages.
