The Big School Bell

Asset 6

Congratulations!  You’re nearing the end of another year of school in pandemic.  Do you feel ready to move up a year?  Have a go at our Moving-On Up Guides which you can download for free.

On your last day of this school year, listen to Carol Vorderman’s special message by clicking play.

Free downloadable resources

Click on your year to download a free Moving-On Guide.  You can fill it in, or just read it, maybe discuss it with family and friends and then keep it as a memory of these unusual school times.

In order to move joyfully into new stages of life, rather than fearfully, kids need to know that they are part of a great big community who care about and honour their growth and unfolding. The Big School Bell project is an act of community parenting for all our children; may it be the start of many more.

Why are we doing this?

The pandemic has meant that many of your school traditions like outings, leavers’ assemblies, shirt signing etc. couldn’t happen.  We know that lots of you are disappointed not to be able to say goodbye and celebrate what you’ve accomplished. We want to honour your achievements as you get ready to step into the next stage of your lives.
