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 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."

"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."
