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

"Thank you to Taylor for everything he has done for C, he has impacted his life in the most positive way during the most challenging time of his life. Taylor has been a lifeline for C and without him, he was at risk of Permanent Exclusion.

He now has transitioned to a specialist school and this would not have been possible without RISE's support. C will remember him forever for the most positive reasons!"

"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."

"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."
