RISE Activities Week Beginning 2nd June

Posted: 02-06-2025

Following a productive staff training day, it’s been fantastic to see our RISE pupils settle back into routine so smoothly this week. There’s something really special about seeing familiar staff uniforms and pupils out in the community again - learning, connecting, and engaging in thoughtful conversations around emotional wellbeing and personal development.

This week, our pupils have worn many hats! They’ve stepped into the shoes of detectives, solving fictional murder mysteries with curiosity and teamwork. They've shown their competitive spirit as athletes and sportspeople, dived into the past as historians exploring different periods of history, and exercised their problem-solving skills as mathematicians.

They’ve also taken on the role of career advisors - researching their dream jobs, setting goals, and identifying the steps needed to reach them. It's been a brilliant mix of fun, learning, and future thinking.

Well done to everyone for getting stuck in with such great energy. We’re so proud of the motivation we’ve seen already and can’t wait to see what the rest of the term brings as our pupils continue to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

"I feel a lot more confident! Now, I can go out into the community and talk to people, like when I order my own drinks - it's something I didn’t feel brave enough to do before. I’ve also learned to understand my feelings better.

I can tell when I’m upset or stressed, and I know how to use strategies to stay calm and in the Green Zone of Regulation, so I can handle things better and feel more in control."

School CPD Feedback

The RISE Team provided well prepared, high quality and engaging PACE training to staff who work with children aged 3-11. Staff commented on how useful the real life examples were and how these supported them to apply this training in our school environment. The RISE Team worked with leaders before delivering the training which meant we could adapt it to the needs of our school. I have seen many of the strategies being used in school which has lead to the prevention of escalations. Overall,  highly effective training!

"The Mentor’s relationship with J and me has helped hugely. Having another adult to help has made me feel less alone in my care for J. Bridget's wealth of knowledge has been vital to us accessing services, benefits and professionals within BCP.

Also, the resources provided have been superb. I am really grateful for the care, support and kindness Bridget has provided us. Without her, we would be in a really bad place."
