RISE Activities Week Beginning 19th May

Posted: 19-05-2025

As we wrap up the final week of term, we want to say a huge well done to all of our RISE pupils. This term has brought its fair share of challenges (from exams and changing routines to new learning experiences and personal growth) and we couldn’t be prouder of the resilience, progress, and effort our pupils have shown throughout.

Despite the pressures of the term for many pupils, we’ve continued to prioritise emotional literacy across all areas. Pupils have been supported in identifying their emotions, understanding the triggers behind them, and developing practical, healthy coping strategies - some of which you'll see in the pictures below. It’s been wonderful to see them becoming more self-aware and confident in managing how they feel.

Tutoring and mentoring sessions have offered space for academic growth, emotional support, and meaningful connection. From fun, practical activities like learning about healthy eating, to more creative sessions such as sequin art and physical education through boxing and swimming, pupils have had regular opportunities to develop real-life skills in engaging, relevant ways.

We’ve also enjoyed some exciting experiences that combine fun and learning - including biology lessons involving live animal handling, and thought-provoking museum visits where pupils explored and analysed art. These opportunities have encouraged curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of enjoyment in learning, all while strengthening their place in the RISE community.

It’s been a full and rewarding term, and we’re so proud of every pupil for the way they continue to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

"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."

"The Mentor’s relationship with J and me has helped hugely. Having another adult to help has made me feel less alone in my care for J. Bridget's wealth of knowledge has been vital to us accessing services, benefits and professionals within BCP.

Also, the resources provided have been superb. I am really grateful for the care, support and kindness Bridget has provided us. Without her, we would be in a really bad place."
