RISE Activities Across October

Posted: 24-10-2025

October has been a brilliant month here at RISE, and it’s been wonderful to see pupils continuing to settle into routines, build confidence, and engage so positively in their learning. As the seasons have shifted, we’ve been making the most of every opportunity to get outdoors: from autumn walks and nature-based lessons to simply enjoying the fresh air and noticing the changes happening around us.

Our pupils have shown great curiosity and creativity this month, especially as we embraced the spooky season! We’ve had pumpkin-themed activities, autumn leaf crafts and plenty of discussions, writing tasks and projects inspired by Autumn and Halloween. It’s been lovely to see learners using their imaginations, developing their fine motor skills, and taking pride in their seasonal creations.

Across our sessions, pupils have also continued to develop important life skills, teamwork and resilience,  whether through group challenges, cookery sessions, sports, or support with emotional regulation and academic progress. Tutors have also been working hard in the background, helping pupils excel in their maths, English and foundation subjects too.

A huge well done to everyone for their fantastic effort, positivity and perseverance this month! After a well-deserved week break, we can't wait to see what November brings and pupils 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."

Parent feedback

"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."

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.
