Extra-curricular
At The Rise Sixth Form we have a robust and purposeful wraparound curriculum that provides our students with academic and social and emotional skills.
As part of preparing students for the workload associated with their courses, we have mandatory independent study sessions. All students have up to six hours of independent study a week. During this time students are expected to work on their coursework with the support of Rise staff, revise for English or maths re-sits, or they can take part in enriching activities such as watching an informative documentary. Independent study is not just an opportunity for staff to re-teach students, it allows students to ask staff questions, seek clarifications, and work in a quiet space. It is also an opportunity for staff to support students to manage their deadlines and succeed in their course.
EPQ is offered to students to support independent research, extended writing, and project management. The qualification is open to all students and provides an opportunity to write about a chosen interest. Students can explore topics more deeply and learn key skills leading to higher education and industry. We currently offer Level 1, 2, and 3 entries to Pearson Edexcel.
