Our Curriculum

Each morning, learners participate in structured academic sessions led by our skilled teaching staff. Our fully bespoke timetables ensure that each student receives an education tailored to their needs, abilities, and future aspirations.

Our core academic offer includes:

• Maths and English (including functional skills and GCSEs)

• Functional Skills qualifications (up to level 2)

• Bespoke PSHE lessons

• Access to broader academic subjects, delivered by our qualified teaching staff (up to GCSE's)

Our teaching team can help students access a broader academic curriculum, with some of our learners engaging in GCSE sessions in Science, History, and Photography, among other subjects.

Our vocational curriculum allows students to explore their passions, develop new skills, and gain valuable experience in a range of fields, including:

• Music Production – Rapping, singing, and studio skills

• Art & Photography – Encouraging creativity and self-expression

• Animal Care – Hands-on experience

• Carpentry – Practical skills in woodwork and construction

• Sports & Fitness – Promoting physical health and teamwork

• Cooking Skills – Essential life skills and culinary creativity

Our inclusive approach ensures that every learner, regardless of background or ability, has access to opportunities that empower them to grow, achieve, and thrive.

Upon joining Arise ALP, students undergo an initial assessment to identify their strengths, challenges, and goals. Progress is closely monitored, and individual learning maps are created to provide a clear pathway for development.

For students requiring additional support, we implement targeted interventions in areas such as:

• Reading (tracked with reading age assessments)

• Literacy & Numeracy (with 'doodlelearning' interventions)

• Mental Health & Well-being

We provide bi-weekly progress reports and daily attendance updates, keeping parents, carers, and commissioners informed every step of the way.

We offer a responsive PSHE curriculum designed to adapt to the evolving needs of our learners. Alongside our structured PSHE scheme of work, we create and deliver bespoke, reactive sessions that address the real-life challenges our students face. This flexible approach ensures that our PSHE provision remains relevant, engaging, and impactful, equipping young people with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate an ever-changing world.
