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.

"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 RISE Team provided well prepared, high quality and engaging PACE training to staff who work with children aged 3-11. Staff commented on how useful the real life examples were and how these supported them to apply this training in our school environment. The RISE Team worked with leaders before delivering the training which meant we could adapt it to the needs of our school. I have seen many of the strategies being used in school which has lead to the prevention of escalations. Overall, highly effective training!

"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!"
