RISE Activities Week Beginning 16th June
Posted: 16-06-2025
This week has brought a heatwave of high temperatures and heavy humidity, but true to form, our RISE pupils have continued to show incredible resilience, focus, and adaptability.
Despite the soaring heat, engagement across sessions has remained strong. Our mentors and tutors have been working creatively to adjust activities, ensuring pupils can continue learning and developing while staying safe and comfortable. From indoor alternatives to lighter, more flexible sessions, everyone has embraced the change of pace with positivity and enthusiasm.
A special well done goes out to the pupils who find the heat especially difficult - concentrating in high temperatures can be a real challenge, and we’ve been so impressed by their determination to keep going, participate, and make progress, even when it’s felt tough.
We’ve also taken extra care this week to keep everyone safe and supported in the sun. Pupils have been encouraged to stay hydrated, make use of shaded areas, apply suncream, and learn about why sun safety is so important. These lessons have been woven into our wider focus on wellbeing and personal responsibility which is another way RISE helps pupils build knowledge and independence for life.
Whether it’s been through adapting to the weather, staying calm when it's uncomfortable, or simply showing up and trying their best, our pupils have once again demonstrated what it means to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

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.

"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."
