RISE Programme

RISE moving up to secondary school with confidence

 

 

The Kidscape RISE programme has supported thousands of children over the last four years with the key transition from primary to secondary school, with additional modules supporting children with the return to school post lockdown.

The focus of the RISE Programme is on understanding and adjusting to social change rather than the practical arrangements of transition. The programme aims to increase the confidence of children by providing an empowering and practical workshop that increases levels of confidence and provides techniques for managing change, making friends, dealing with conflict and bullying and developing a positive sense of self.

The RISE programme is designed as a ‘Train the Trainer’ model, we have produced 10 core modules that will support schools specifically aimed at Primary and Secondary school education staff.

All workshops will be delivered via our online learning platform and facilitated throughout. 

Staff will receive comprehensive materials to assist with delivery of RISE within their school.

Feedback

'The tried and tested content is really good. It is difficult to know from a primary school perspective what will be most helpful, so having this all laid out is wonderful. I will find the print outs and resources especially helpful and it will save so much time for busy school staff'."

"Everything was explained clearly. Having the goals and the outcomes of each activity laid clear was nice, as it gives you the confidence to mould the activities to fit the needs of your children."
