RISE Activities Week Beginning 9th June 2025

Posted: 09-06-2025

It’s been another great week at RISE, full of meaningful moments, positive steps forward, and real growth across all areas of our provision. Pupils have continued to engage brilliantly in both mentoring and tutoring sessions; building trust, making progress with their learning, and developing stronger emotional awareness.

Physical activity has been a big focus this week too, with pupils taking part in a range of exercises that not only support their physical health but also boost wellbeing, focus and confidence. It’s always wonderful to see pupils connecting through movement, whether it’s organised sports or simply being active in a way that makes them feel good.

We’ve also seen lots of problem-solving and creative thinking across our sessions - from collaborative tasks to independent learning that push pupils to think critically, whether independently or as a collaborative effort. Alongside this, emotional literacy continues to be a core part of what we do, helping pupils identify how they feel, understand why, and build strategies to manage those emotions in healthy ways.

A big highlight this week has been the positive integration of new pupils. Our community continues to grow, and it’s been extremely rewarding to see strong relationships forming as new faces are welcomed, supported, and included.

There have also been some brilliant individual achievements to celebrate: pupils have been stepping out of their comfort zones by trying new activities in the community, participating in events like sports day and one of our more anxious pupils have taken the huge step of visiting a school setting. This is a huge milestone for them reflecting both the real courage and progress in their personal journey as well as the incredible work their mentor has been doing with them.

Well done to everyone for another week of effort, resilience, and connection. You continue to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.
