 Smooth transition from Primary experience.  Real opportunity to develop skills for life. These transfer into skills required for Senior Phase.  Evidence points to young people learning in ways that are more lasting and transferable.  Project themes selected are already meaningful to pupils so greater opportunity for experiencing success

Asked if they think it should continue? No-one wants to go back to classrooms all day. Asked if they knew what was being learned? Like looking at photographs about what we have done. “Like being with different friends.” “Like having a chance to access the community.” “Learning about going away – packing” “Working with S1 doing a performance” “Like being treated differently” “Like different activities and going outside of school.” “Like being given a leadership role.” “ Like to look after things.”
