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 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!

"O didn't have any support other than myself to help her and was struggling to cope with life, having the opportunity to have Leila in her life has opened her mind to so much. We were extremely struggling to cope so having Leila's support has helped tremendously.

It has given me hope that not every door is shut to her and there are people out there that want to help, and she can get support that she needs. O was extremely negative about anyone being able to support her as no one had in the past so this opportunity has definitely helped her to have more faith in people and to trust the process."

"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."
