RISE Activities Week Beginning 5th May
Posted: 05-05-2025
Our pupils have been exploring and celebrating VE Day in a range of creative and meaningful ways. From researching the history of Victory in Europe Day and learning about its significance, to heading outside to gather information, and creating eye-catching posters, they’ve shown real curiosity and enthusiasm. Pupils who are still attending school enjoyed taking part in special VE Day activities too - from vibrant non-uniform days to reflective assemblies that encouraged thoughtful discussions about the past and how it shapes our present.
With SATs and other examinations approaching, our pupils have shown remarkable resilience. Across all age groups, we’ve seen a huge amount of dedication, from working through past paper questions and revising content, to participating in sessions focused on managing anxiety and developing positive exam strategies. It’s been a busy and challenging period, but our pupils have truly risen to the occasion - not only meeting each moment with strength, but also looking ahead with excitement towards their future goals.
This is exactly what RISE is all about: helping our pupils Engage, Succeed, Thrive and RISE.

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!

"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."

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.
