Opening of The Lighthouse

Posted: 02-02-2025

RISE Alternative Provision is proud to announce the opening of The Lighthouse, a new state-of-the-art resource base designed to enhance the learning experience of its students. The Lighthouse offers a welcoming, tailored space to support the individual needs of children within the provision.

The new base includes a range of facilities to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment, such as:

  • A fully equipped kitchen for life skills development and hands-on learning.
  • A formal learning zone featuring an interactive TV, designed to engage students in dynamic, modern learning experiences.
  • A sensory room where students can explore sensory activities that promote relaxation, focus, and emotional well-being.
  • A fish tank, offering a calming environment and a space for children to observe and interact with aquatic life.

In addition to these amenities, children at The Lighthouse will also have access to the Forest School on-site, where they can engage in outdoor, experiential learning that fosters creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.

"My son totally looks up to Sam and I have seen such a change in Charlie. He's happier and is coming out with me so much more at weekends now as well which is so nice! It's all thanks to Sam.

Thanks to Sam for all his help with Charlie: he really enjoys spending time with him and it benefits Charlie’s mental health so much."

I would like to thank you all for the support you have given A. Jack made such an immense difference to him last year and worked with us so well to transition A into Year 4 and to this point.  Thank you to Lucinda too and all your staff that have worked with him. I have been so impressed with your professionalism and support.

What a success story!

"RISE AP has made a significant impact on the children who attend our school. Many students who were previously out of school are now successfully reintegrated into the classroom, even participating in afternoon sessions - something that once seemed out of reach for them.

This tailored support addresses their unique needs, helping them thrive both academically and emotionally, in a way that truly makes a difference to their overall well-being and future prospects."
