The past month has flown by, and as always, we’re so proud of everything our RISE pupils have achieved. Despite the ongoing heat, they’ve continued to show brilliant resilience: staying focused, engaging positively and making the most of every opportunity.
Our mentors and tutors have supported pupils through a range of activities to keep learning and wellbeing at the heart of each day. From outdoor sessions and emotional regulation strategies to academic progress in core subjects, pupils have continued to build both confidence and independence.
Tutors and mentors have also started supporting several pupils to transition back to school for September. We’ve been proud to see how thoughtfully and maturely pupils are approaching these changes, and we’re here every step of the way to help make those transitions as smooth and successful as possible. These include meeting with the teachers, school tours, supporting with transition days and transitional activities.
At the same time, we’re beginning to prepare pupils for the summer holidays, helping them build routines, reflect on their progress, supporting them with feeling confident being in the community and ensuring they feel ready for a long break. As always, our focus remains on both academic growth and emotional wellbeing, ensuring pupils are equipped with the tools they need, whatever lies ahead.
Well done to all our pupils for continuing to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. 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."
