To mark the end of a busy and successful term, we were thrilled to host an end-of-term summer party for our RISE pupils. It was a fantasic day despite the multiple rain scares, but everyone enjoyed themselves nevertheless!
It was truly heartwarming to see so many pupils come together, many of whom had never met before. Watching them interact, build new friendships, and enjoy shared experiences was a real reminder of the social and emotional growth our pupils have made this year. From the moment they arrived, there was a clear sense of community, connection, and joy.
The party gave pupils a chance to relax and celebrate everything they’ve achieved - whether through sports, board games, conversation, or simply being around others in a safe and supportive environment. Their kindness, confidence, and communication skills were on full display, showing just how far they’ve come in their personal development.
Events like these are not only a celebration but also an important part of what we do at RISE: giving pupils meaningful opportunities to build social confidence, develop emotional intelligence, and feel part of something bigger.
After such a successful afternoon, we’re excited to plan more events like this in the future, thereby offering even more chances for our amazing pupils to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

"My son totally looks up to Sam and I have seen such a change in Charlie. He's happier and is coming out with me so much more at weekends now as well which is so nice! It's all thanks to Sam.
Thanks to Sam for all his help with Charlie: he really enjoys spending time with him and it benefits Charlie’s mental health so much."

"M has built a great relationship with his mentors especially Jack out of all his mentors and tutors from another AP. Jack has helped M build a trusted relationship and understanding manner.
M has had a positive outcome and enjoys taking part which he didn’t previously and anxiety/communicating, which has really come on since working with Jack. Communication with myself is excellent. Jack has a very understanding kind and great approach, who is a trusted adult. My son feels comfortable with and someone who understands and reassures."

"The Mentor has a good relationship with R. She communicates and works well with her when she is having a bad day. There is great communication with myself- the reports are detailed and I enjoy reading them. I know RISE has greatly helped my daughter build her confidence and become a happier child."
