The Rise School is a thriving special school based in Feltham, West London educating autistic pupils aged four to 18.
Using the Ambitious Approach to education, this vibrant learning community equips young people with the academic qualifications and personal skill-set needed to thrive in the world, socially, emotionally and, in time, in the workplace.
The Rise School offers pupils the best of both worlds: special needs provision combined with a curriculum guided by, and reaching beyond, the national curriculum.
Located on the same campus as the Springwest Academy, a thriving secondary mainstream school, The Rise School enables pupils to access learning and social opportunities alongside their mainstream peers, whilst receiving the specialist support they need.
**The Rise Sixth Form **
The Rise School Sixth Form is based in a purpose-built provision at West Thames College in Isleworth.
Students have access to the wide variety of courses on offer at West Thames College, while receiving specialist support from our dedicated team. We provide a high-quality wraparound curriculum, including courses such as life and employability skills, that places as much emphasis on social outcomes as it does on academic success. Students study in The Rise Sixth Form base between lessons and on days when they have no lessons in the main college.
The Rise Sixth Form aims to build aspirations, to inspire and to motivate students so that they have the opportunity to make the best choices in life and reach their full potential.
