RISE Activities Across November
Posted: 28-11-2025
November has been another busy and positive month at RISE, with pupils continuing to settle into routines, build relationships and engage with their learning in meaningful ways.
Earlier in the month, pupils took part in activities for Remembrance Day and Anti-Bullying Week, approaching both themes with thoughtfulness and maturity. From creative work and discussions around remembrance, to important conversations about kindness, respect and standing up for others, pupils engaged brilliantly with these topics. You can read more about how we marked these weeks in our dedicated blog post here.
Our Junior Duke Award is now well underway, and it has been fantastic to see pupils fully embracing the ethos behind the programme. Many have already begun taking part in charitable actions and community-based projects (such as litter picking), showing real initiative, teamwork and pride in what they are achieving. Seeing pupils come together, complete their Junior Duke workbooks with pride, motivate one another and take ownership of their progress has been a real highlight this month.
We’ve also welcomed a few new starters to RISE in November, which has been very exciting. We’re incredibly proud of how well they have settled in with their new tutors and mentors, building routines, forming relationships and becoming part of the RISE community so quickly.
As we head towards the end of term, we’re really proud of the resilience, positivity and effort our pupils continue to show. November has been another reminder of how our young people continue to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

"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."

"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."

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.
