RISE Assessment Week

Posted: 03-10-2025

Over the past two weeks, our RISE pupils have truly shown what resilience looks like. We’ve been carrying out a range of reading and maths assessments, as well as questionnaires focusing on pupils’ attitudes and feelings towards school and learning. For many young people, these tasks can be challenging (particularly so soon after the summer holidays when routines are still settling back in), but we are incredibly proud of how calmly, maturely and positively our pupils have approached them.

These assessments are such an important part of what we do at RISE. They not only help us to identify and bridge any gaps in learning, but also give us valuable insights into how our pupils are feeling about school, learning and their own progress. This means we can continue to support each child in the most effective way possible, both academically and emotionally.

Our tutors and mentors have been on hand throughout, offering reassurance, supporting with their emotional regulation, offering encouragement and plenty of praise along the way. Their support ensures that every pupil feels confident, valued and understood. Conducting these assessments is just one of the many tools we use to help our young people Engage. Succeed. Thrive. RISE.

Well done to all of our pupils for their fantastic resilience and effort: we’re so proud of the determination and growth you’ve already shown this term!
