The Raise Academy will work constantly to provide excellence for you. With a highly-trained, specialised team, we will support your needs, providing a safe, but aspirational, environment to recapture an often-lost passion for learning and creativity.

‘Raise’ represents far more than just a name for a school. It neatly summarises our vision for the Academy, Ultimately, we plan to raise all learners to a level they can sustain achievement, contribute to local communities and wider society, be proud of their outcomes and strive or better life destinations.

Our Pastoral Lead will be looking to support each student and their family from our initial meeting, building a profile ensuring that each member of
staff know each child well and can adapt their approach accordingly to reflect the needs of the student. As well as in-house support, staff will be working closely with a number of outside agencies to ensure a whole support system for students and their families.

What will I be doing?

The Raise Academy will have high expectations when it comes to behaviour, attitude, effort and progress.  We will ensure that the right strategies are put in place to help you succeed.  We will work alongside your parents and carers to build a system of care and education that fits around your needs.  We want each and every student to feel that the academy provides safety, security, wellbeing and a targeted progress plan, looking forward and planning for life after Raise and successful futures.

We feel passionately that our school community should be a family, listening to each other, showing a mutual respect and working together towards healthy, happy and successful futures.  Therefore, we feel that you should have your say, you should have ownership of your school and contribute to the running of the Academy. The Raise Academy will develop a school council to reflect this and give you, our students a voice!
