Thousands sign up for Big School mega-event

Moving from primary to secondary school can be a daunting prospect for Year 6 pupils, especially when they don't know what to expect. Cue Crescent Purchasing Consortium, our partners at Tree of Knowledge and some famous faces, as well!

Okay, so what connects the following? 🤔

💪 New WWE NXT champion Joe Hendry

🏉 Six Nations and Lions fly-half Finn Russell

🏃‍♀️ Commonwealth Games champion Eilish McColgan

Yes, each of them will be flying the flag for Scotland in 2026. But they were also a part of the last 'We're Aff Tae The Big School', a high-energy, virtual live event from Tree of Knowledge that helped pupils prepare for their big move to secondary education.

This summer, Crescent Purchasing Consortium is helping extend this free event's growing reach across the UK and schools can register now to get involved, before 'We're Off To The Big School' goes live for Year 6 pupils and staff on Wednesday 17th June.

Online viewers can expect an afternoon full of even more celebrity well-wishes, plus top tips and words of wisdom, timely myth busters, fun and games and some surprises, also. It's "Saturday morning TV meets the best school assembly you ever had"! 🎉

Thousands have already signed up to attend... did we mention the event is free?! You can learn much more and register here.
