Transitioning from primary to secondary school is not always easy. Whether it is moving to a new campus or a new country; it is a journey full of excitement, apprehension and sometimes fear of the unknown. As you read this article you might start to remember the way you felt putting on that new uniform and packing your school bag for the first day of secondary school.

For adults, the process of following written text with our eyes comes easily, but is this activity really as simple as it seems?

We believe that many elements blend together to make up a successful virtual school experience. The balance of the learning day will differ to the pattern of the physical school but, depending on the age and stage of your child, a blended approach ensures that maximum learning is achieved through the delivery of a holistic education. This means the whole child is nurtured and education goes beyond the traditional model. All areas of the curriculum are covered from maths to music, history to art, and assemblies to sports.
