RISE Activities Week Beginning 23rd May

Posted: 23-06-2025

This week at RISE has been full of energy, creativity, and purposeful learning, all wrapped up in a focus on real-life skills that empower our pupils both now and for the future.

We’ve had a strong focus on physical activity and wellbeing, with pupils taking part in sports and exercise, learning not only how to keep their bodies healthy, but why it’s so important. Healthy habits have also been explored through sessions on balanced eating and budgeting - key skills that help our pupils feel more confident and independent in daily life.

One standout moment came from a pupil with aspirations to become a mechanic, who had the opportunity to try out some basic car maintenance tasks. It’s been fantastic to see pupils connecting their interests to hands-on experiences that bring their goals to life. As always, our tutoring sessions have also continued to support progress in core subjects like maths and English, with personalised learning and guidance helping pupils to build confidence and close gaps.

Alongside academic and practical development, creativity has played a big part in supporting wellbeing this week. Pupils have expressed themselves through art, design, and other creative outlets - offering a space for calm, connection, and self-expression during busy days.

We’re so proud of all the pupils who continue to take part, push themselves, and make the most of these opportunities. Every skill, every step, every spark of interest is another way they continue to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

"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."

"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."

"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!"
