Assessment, Progress and Interventions
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.
)
PSHE
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.
