It is a great privilege for me to be the first Trust leader for Rise. I joined in September 2020, just as Rise was emerging from what was formerly DLAT, the Diocese of Leicester Academy Trust.

Rise is a family of schools. We work with and for each other.

We currently comprise of 20 Church of England primary schools and 3 community schools, but as a multi academy trust we would like to further extend our family to non-church schools. Great strides have been made and we are proud of the fact that all our schools are now deemed to be’ Good’ in the eyes of Ofsted. We want, however, for that milestone to be a marker on our journey, rather than the destination itself. Our family of schools are all different shapes and sizes, serving rich and varied communities and that is one of the many things we love about our Trust.

Our vision and our values show how we place great importance on what we do and how we do it. Our values underpin our interactions with each other and strengthen our sense of family. Children are placed at the heart of everything we do. Our team of staff are skilled, hardworking and committed to developing all of your child, not just their academic ability. We recognise that success for every child will be different and we celebrate this.

We are developing and maturing as a Trust. We are ambitious. We are evolving into a Trust that is led by schools for schools. Our headteachers and talented subject leaders play an active role in Trust and school improvement. Our central team, including me, are committed to serving schools in a manner that enables them to be great schools, doing great things that enable every child in a Rise school to both ‘flourish and succeed’; and ensuring that our colleagues and communities thrive in a similar way.

Please feel free to contact us directly with any queries you may have.

In order to ‘flourish and succeed’ as a family of schools, we work together to ensure:

All RISE PUPILS WILL FLOURISH AND SUCCEED BY:

...being more than ready to move on to the next phase of their educational journey. Pupils will have the subject knowledge they need to thrive. They will love school, love learning and want to know more about the world around them. Rise pupils will be wise and hopeful.

Rise pupils will have a deep sense of dignity and show respect in all they do. Their primary education will be full of memorable moments that stay with them forever. They will be aspirational, creative, productive and live well together.

RISE STAFF WILL FLOURISH AND SUCCEED BY:

…being supported to acquire and use the professional knowledge they need to enable Rise pupils to achieve great things. Staff will work in a can-do culture where adult learning is valued as much as children’s learning. Staff will work collaboratively within and beyond the family of schools, with an unerring focus on improving the quality of education they provide.

Rise staff will feel valued and respected. They will be well supported to be the best they can be.

RISE SCHOOLS WILL FLOURISH AND SUCCEED BY:

… being rooted in partnership with the local communities they serve. Schools will work respectfully with their parishes and schools beyond the Rise family, to support all children to thrive. We will endeavour tirelessly to support and work in partnership with the families our schools serve. Rise schools will be scandalously inclusive; every pupil will be valued and every pupil will achieve great things.

Rise schools will draw strength from their family of schools. Being in a Trust does not define our schools, but collaboration is what will drive improvement.
