Our School

At Rise Academy, we believe that every child deserves the right provision, at the right time, delivered by adults who understand both their potential and their barriers. We recognise that children have only one opportunity to get education right, and that thoughtful, evidence-informed decisions made by educators can fundamentally change life chances.

Rise Academy is a dynamic and inclusive alternative provision, offering a continuum of specialist pathways designed to meet the diverse and often complex needs of our learners. While each Rise site serves a distinct cohort, they are united by a shared commitment to relational practice, high expectations, emotional safety and ambitious outcomes. Our work is grounded in the belief that behaviour, engagement and learning are shaped by experience and that with the right environment, structure and support, every young person can rediscover confidence, purpose and aspiration.

Feedback from a professional when speaking to a pupil "it may look like a prison when you get to the gates but once you come through them it's like paradise.

I am starting my new year’s resolution early, which is to give compliments to people when they deserve it… I really enjoyed visiting your school last week and meeting your staff and I truly believe that schools like Rise are worth their weight in gold. This is a truly amazing provision.

With the bespoke package offered by Rise Academy my son is now getting person centred support from his keyworker which is helping him re-engage with day to day activities and learning life skills that he will need in adulthood. His self-esteem and mental health is beginning to improve too.

I always feel they put so much effort into our daughter and keep us updated especially Hayley she’s been a great guide to her and don’t want it to go unnoticed.

I would like to show our appreciation to Lee who is really bringing the best out of our daughter, he allows her to use her imagination and artistic abilities to the full. Lee clearly understands our daughter, he is quick to inspire, promote and compliment both her and the work she is producing under his guidance.

I am writing to express our gratitude to you and the academy. Our daughter has improved beyond our expectations both mentally and socially over the last few months because of Rise. The fact that she is treated as an adult and is attending interactive classes engaging in subjects that she enjoys has really made a difference, so thank you for that.

X has made such fantastic progress with you all and I want to thank you very sincerely for all your care and nurture of him The comments from his teachers are fantastic....especially his English teacher.

My daughter is going great at Rise Academy and I have always been happy with the support they have given her. The staff team go over and above to help. I love the way that my daughter has classes to help her emotions as well as her academic studies. The school have got a good balance that is really having an impact in all of our lives. Thank you Rise Staff...

I'm really happy that my son was given the opportunity to attend Rise Academy, I can see improvements in his behaviour and his grades. I am really happy with my choice to send him here. I feel for the first time in a long while that I got this right for him!

Going to Rise was the best thing that ever happened in his school-life.

The work that is done in this school is so valuable to us! The constant communication and feedback keeps us in the picture and helps us reinforce the good work that is done at home.

I have noticed a massive difference both at Rise and at home. He is becoming more confident and his whole behaviour has improved. Best move we ever made was moving him to Rise. Thank you for giving Brandon a chance and helping him to become who he is today.

The support offered to us from Rise Academy is tireless. I know if I have any worries at all I can rely on a devoted team who really care about my sons future. He is no longer just a ‘troublesome kid’ but an individual with potential and will not be left by the wayside with little or nothing when he enters the world of early adulthood.

As a referring agent and being responsible for many budgets, ‘Value for Money’ is always a major consideration. As such I know that Rise Academy represents excellent ‘Value for Money’ as there is a determination to succeed with every pupil and this has grown a culture that lives and breathes through the staff team.

Rise Academy – Partner organisation to have the most impact on helping HFRS improve people’s lives.

There are a number of reasons I have faith in Rise Academy; firstly the individual learning programmes are devised at a truly personalised level for the pupil and this enables the levels of success achieved to build confidence, increase self-esteem and develop learning habits that were previously not developed in school.

'Staff are not complacent. They work relentlessly and with sensitivity to support pupils to develop positive attendance routines over time and re-engage pupils with education.'

'Across school sites, the environment is routinely calm.'

'Leaders prioritise inclusion. They rigorously monitor and evaluate the impact of their work to ensure that pupils benefit from highly effective and precise personalised support.'

'Well-trained staff identify pupils’ needs quickly and accurately when they join the school. As a result, pupils quickly settle into school life. '

'The school’s highly inclusive culture is reflected in its approaches to personal development. All pupils benefit from the rich and extensive provision on offer.'

'A consistent phonics approach and successful whole-school reading programme support pupils to become confident readers.'

'The curriculum is well sequenced. Typically, staff deliver it skilfully and their subject knowledge and expertise support pupils to learn well.'

'Staff welcome each pupil warmly and get to know them individually.'
