RISE Activities Week Beginning 21st April
Posted: 23-04-2025
Following a bank holiday and a staff training day, we’re incredibly proud of our RISE pupils for how quickly and positively they’ve settled back into the swing of things this week!
Mentors and tutors have been working closely with pupils to re-establish routines, create a sense of calm, and set clear expectations for the term ahead. Thanks to everyone's efforts, pupils have already made a strong start, engaging in a wide range of meaningful learning activities as they get ready for the new term ahead.
This week’s activities have included reflective work in their Happiness Confident Me Journals, a range of SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) activities, such as focusing on strategies to cope with anxiety and new academic learning, including maths skills, reading comprehension, and essential life skills like financial literacy.
At RISE, we place equal importance on academic progress and emotional wellbeing. Supporting emotional literacy, building resilience, and nurturing mental health are at the heart of everything we do - because when pupils feel safe, confident, and supported, they are able to Engage, Succeed, Thrive and RISE.

I would like to thank you all for the support you have given A. Jack made such an immense difference to him last year and worked with us so well to transition A into Year 4 and to this point. Thank you to Lucinda too and all your staff that have worked with him. I have been so impressed with your professionalism and support.
What a success story!

"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."
