RISE Activities Week Beginning 28th April

Posted: 02-05-2025

After celebrating nearly 100% attendance across all students last week, we’ve had a fantastic start to this week as well.

This marks our first full week back since before the Easter break, and we’ve been incredibly proud of how focused and engaged our pupils have been in their sessions. Learning has extended well beyond the classroom too - with activities taking place in cafés, parks, and libraries, as well as outdoors in the sunshine.

The good weather has also brought about more animal-related activities, which have offered not only a calming presence for many pupils but also rich learning opportunities. (Pictured below are some of the animals the students have encountered this week.)

With the sunny days continuing, we are prioritising sun safety for all pupils. If you’re a parent or carer, please ensure your child brings suncream and a sunhat to school. We will continue to keep children hydrated, provide access to shade, and ensure they stay safe while enjoying the outdoors with us.

We do hope you enjoy the bank holiday weekend. There will be no session on Monday, but we look forward to seeing everybody on Tuesday.

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.

"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!"
