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.

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.

"M has built a great relationship with his mentors especially Jack out of all his mentors and tutors from another AP. Jack has helped M build a trusted relationship and understanding manner.

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."
