RISE Activities Across September
Posted: 29-09-2025
It’s been a fantastic first month back at RISE after the summer holidays! We’re so proud of how well our pupils have settled back into their routines: from reconnecting with mentors and tutors to diving straight into learning and enrichment activities, it’s been wonderful to see everyone re-engaging with such motivation and positivity.
This half term is already off to a busy and exciting start, with pupils taking part in a wide range of activities that support both academic and personal growth. We’ve enjoyed lots of practical sessions, from cooking and autumnal crafts to sports and outdoor walks (making sure to make the most of the fresh air before the colder weather sets in)! Pupils have also been exploring key life skills, such as financial literacy through lessons and practical activities, as well as academic work such as writing up match reports, building balanced arguments and practising their maths through real-life examples.
We’ve been especially proud of those pupils who have shown resilience and determination while sitting tests and assessments in their school settings. Transitions, new challenges and assessments can sometimes feel overwhelming, but our pupils have approached them with focus and maturity, which is brilliant to see.
Well done to all of our pupils (and staff) for such a positive start to the year! Your effort, engagement and enthusiasm have not gone unoticed and it has been a pleasure seeing all of the photos up in our Facebook group. We're certain that the momentum will continue as we approach October, to which we're sure will be another amazing month full of learning, creativity and continued progress as we all continue to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

"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!"

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.

"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."
