Isca Academy is proud to be working once again with community organisation The Big Step to deliver festive Christmas hampers to families across its school community.
The partnership, now in its second year, supports students and families as they transition from primary school into secondary education. This Christmas, the collaboration has focused on spreading warmth, joy and a strong sense of belonging during the festive season.
Thanks to funding secured by Dan Leverton of The Big Step, the hampers were provided at no cost to families. Each hamper was thoughtfully prepared and filled with gifts designed to bring festive cheer and comfort to households at what can be a challenging time of year.
Isca Academy, which is part of the Ted Wragg Trust, extends its sincere thanks to The Big Step for their generosity and ongoing partnership, which continues to strengthen the Isca community and support families throughout the year.
The Big Step Transition Programme is a year 6 to 7 summer programme designed to help students move confidently from primary to secondary school. Delivered by passionate teachers during a week in the summer holidays, the programme combines fun, curiosity led learning with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, ensuring students arrive at secondary school excited, supported and ready to succeed.
Mrs Vicki Joyce, Headteacher at Isca Academy said: “We are incredibly grateful to The Big Step for their continued support. These hampers represent more than practical help, they create moments of celebration, connection and care for our families when it matters most.”
