Set within the therapeutic surroundings of Hartcliffe City Farm, Arise ALP offers 1:1 mentoring and alternative education for key stage 3 & 4 students who are struggling to engage in a mainstream setting.
We provide an enriching curriculum that equips our students with the skills and support needed to move on to positive destinations. We have a strong focus on providing quality academic sessions each morning which are delivered by our talented teaching staff. Learners are assessed when they start with us, and progress is monitored regularly throughout. This assessment will inform their learning map and learning goals with Arise. Interventions are regularly put in place for learners that require them, whether this be in literacy (TRUGS & Toe by Toe interventions), numeracy, PSHE or mental health. We provide bi-weekly reports to update on progress to commissioning bodies.
Learners can also access units from a wide range of vocational areas, and these are coupled with core maths, English and PSHE units. Vocational units include:
Music Production (including rapping and singing)
Art & Photography
Animal Care (utilising our city farm setting)
Carpentry
Sports & Fitness
Cooking Skills
Our curriculum is designed with Bristol's Belonging Strategy in mind. This is especially important to us as many of our students may feel a sense of rejection from the commissioning school. We focus heavily on adopting a trauma informed approach that helps foster strong and lasting relationships built on trust. Our students have many opportunities to get involved with community-based activities (both within and outside our Hartcliffe city farm location). These further that sense of belonging to the community.
