End of Term Gathering

Posted: 23-10-2025

After the huge success of our July summer party, we have decided to make this a termly tradition and we're so glad we did! Despite the unpredictable autumn weather and the last-minute changing of our original plans, we were thrilled to still be able to gather together at The Point in Muscliff Park for our latest RISE meet-up this week.

It was another fantastic opportunity for pupils from across RISE to come together, many of whom don’t usually see each other day to day, practise their social skills and demonstrate their building confidence around other people. Watching them reconnect, chat, and share experiences reminded us once again of how far they’ve come in both regulating their emotions, feeling brave enough to try new things and also having the skillset to approach new people. 

These events are so valuable for our pupils, not just as a chance to celebrate progress and unwind, but to continue developing their social and emotional wellbeing in a relaxed, supportive environment. From conversations over hot drinks to group activities and games, it was lovely to see everyone engaging so naturally and positively.

We’re already looking forward to the next termly meet-up and seeing these connections grow even further. Each time, our pupils remind us exactly what it means to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

Testimonials

BCP School Inclusion

Posted: 12-06-2025

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you and the entire team at RISE. Your unwavering commitment to placing young people at the heart of everything you do is consistently evident, and it does not go unnoticed.

I am especially grateful for the close and collaborative working relationship we have developed. Your willingness to respond promptly and supportively whenever I have reached out regarding a young person in need has been invaluable. You have never let me down, and the level of care and support provided to the young people referred to your service has been exceptional.

RISE’s robust and comprehensive approach to safeguarding offers significant reassurance. It is clear that safeguarding is not just a priority, but a fundamental part of your practice. Knowing that a young person is in your care truly eases the weight on my shoulders as an Inclusion Officer, as I am confident that they are safe, supported, and respected at all times.

Thank you once again for your continued dedication and for the vital role you play in supporting some of our most vulnerable young people.

"RISE AP has made a significant impact on the children who attend our school. Many students who were previously out of school are now successfully reintegrated into the classroom, even participating in afternoon sessions - something that once seemed out of reach for them.

This tailored support addresses their unique needs, helping them thrive both academically and emotionally, in a way that truly makes a difference to their overall well-being and future prospects."
