Final Staff Meeting of the Year

Posted: 17-07-2025

As we wrap up the academic year, our final staff meeting was a special moment to reflect on all that’s been achieved

It was a lovely opportunity to pause, connect, and celebrate together, not just what the pupils have achieved, but also the impact tutors and mentors have had too. We took time to look through some of the thoughtful and positive responses from the parent and caregiver surveys that went out earlier this term. The kind words and gratitude shared were genuinely moving, serving as a reminder of the meaningful impact our mentors and tutors have every single day. It was a joy to read them aloud and reflect on the relationships built and the progress made.

To bring a bit of fun into the final week, we also created a light-hearted end-of-year video to make our pupils smile over the holidays. We've already received messages from parents saying how much they (and their children) loved it. If you haven’t seen it yet, head over to the RISE Alternative Provision Facebook page to take a look!

As an extra thank you, every member of our senior leadership team took the time to handwrite personal thank you cards to our staff, alongside giving a small gift to show our appreciation. At RISE, we know that it takes a team and we never take for granted the care, creativity, and dedication our mentors and tutors pour into their work.

Everything we do is about creating a space where pupils can Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE. and that’s only possible because of the exceptional team behind the scenes. Thank you, all. Here’s to a well-earned rest and an exciting year ahead!
