LeAP - Learning with Arts Practitioners

A Transition Project for 8 - 13
Screen Images from the Multimedia Project

Taking the LeAP - Moving on to Comp is a multimedia project designed to address the concerns of Year 6 children in their last term of primary school. Designed with children from Years 5 - 8, “the interactivity of the CD ROM allows it to do all that the rest of the Transition Programme cannot”.

The CD gives pupils and parents a chance to explore the fears and expectations they may have about the Comprehensive School they are soon to enter.

Pupils are able to talk about and illustrate their concerns. They are able to watch and
listen to their peers a year ahead of them respond to those concerns and reassure them as to the reality of life at Comprehensive School.

They can take a virtual tour of the school and see the classrooms and lessons in action. They can discover the scope of activities provided by the school as well as practical information on school uniform and rules.

The CD ROM uses a template to present all this information but within this template the
Comprehensive and Primary Schools can work with our media artists to create entirely unique material. The project covers 1 comprehensive and up to 10 primary feeder schools.
