February meet up

First RISE Meet Up of 2026!

Posted: 10-02-2026

It's the end of another term and as per tradition, we were delighted to host another RISE meet-up at The Point, bringing pupils together to celebrate the end of another positive and busy term.

The full day offered a chance for pupils to pop in during their sessions and reflect on their achievements as well as recognise just how far they’ve come this year. It was wonderful to see growing confidence, stronger communication and improved social skills on display as pupils met up with peers, many of whom they don’t see regularly (or even since our last event, which you can read about here). From chatting and laughing to joining in games, crafts and team activities, there was a real sense of pride and enjoyment throughout.

As always, the meet-up created a relaxed and supportive space where pupils could simply have fun, be themselves and feel part of the wider RISE community. Moments like these highlight the importance of giving pupils opportunities to practise social interaction in a safe, encouraging environment, while also celebrating their hard work and resilience across the term.

We’re incredibly proud of everything our pupils have achieved this spring and loved seeing them come together to mark the end of term on such a positive note. We’re already looking forward to our next meet-up and continuing to create opportunities like this where pupils can connect, grow and thrive.

As ever, our pupils continue to show us what it means to Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.
