RISE Alternative Provision is proud to announce the opening of The Lighthouse, a new state-of-the-art resource base designed to enhance the learning experience of its students. The Lighthouse offers a welcoming, tailored space to support the individual needs of children within the provision.

The new base includes a range of facilities to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment, such as:

  • A fully equipped kitchen for life skills development and hands-on learning.
  • A formal learning zone featuring an interactive TV, designed to engage students in dynamic, modern learning experiences.
  • A sensory room where students can explore sensory activities that promote relaxation, focus, and emotional well-being.
  • A fish tank, offering a calming environment and a space for children to observe and interact with aquatic life.

In addition to these amenities, children at The Lighthouse will also have access to the Forest School on-site, where they can engage in outdoor, experiential learning that fosters creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.

"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."

"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."

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.
