Trust no one. Question everything. As #CelebrityTraitors returns tonight, here’s how we bring that same energy into schools. Teamwork. Deception. Strategy. Could your students uncover the traitor? 🎭 #TheBigStep#Traitors#Education#RewardDays
The brand-new Celebrity Traitors series starts on BBC1 this October.
We know lots of students tuned in last time (they told me) and no doubt they’ll be watching again.
If you’re looking for a reward day idea with a twist, this could be the one. 🧡💙

✨ Did you know? ✨
We’ve now delivered The Big Step to over 7,000 children! 🧡
But it doesn’t stop there – with parents included, that’s closer to 21,000 lives impacted.
It’s not just the children who benefit. By helping young people build confidence, tackle anxiety, and feel ready for secondary school, we’re also helping parents feel more confident about the process and less anxious about their child’s transition.
And no, they’re not asleep in this photo – just fully relaxed during our anxiety workshop! 🧘♂️😴
