Academic outcomes
Here is a breakdown of the academic outcomes gained at The Rise School.
Key Stage 1
In 2024-2025 our youngest pupils were in Year 5. Therefore, there are no KS1 outcomes.
Key Stage 2
In 2024-2025, we had a cohort of 9 learners in Year 6.
A number of the learners joined during the school year. All 8 learners sat all of the papers and one never sat the papers.
The expected standard is a scaled score on KS2 SATs of 100.
Please see the table below for The Rise’s KS2 outcomes.
| Reading | Spelling, punctuation and grammar | Maths | |
| Pupils meeting ‘expected standard’ | 4/8 (50%) | 2/8 (25%) | 2/8 (25%) |
| Average scaled score | 99.6 | 98.25 | 97.5 |
On two reading papers, learners came exceptionally close to meeting the expected standard, within one mark.
On three SPaG papers, learners came exceptionally close to meeting the expected standard, within three marks.
On two maths papers, learners came exceptionally close to meeting the expected standard, within three marks.
Cohort sizes remain small, and this means percentages hold big swings per capita.

Key Stage 4
In 2024-2025, we had a cohort of 15 learners in Year 11. A further nine learners in year 18 sat Combined Science foundation GCSE papers early.
Y11 sat a range of qualifications including:
- i/GCSE Maths (Foundation/Higher)

GCSEs are graded on a scale of 1-9 in which a grade 4 is considered a ‘standard pass'. Some iGCSEs continue to be graded on a scale of U-A*.
| Number | Percentage | |
| Pupils achieving at least 4 GCSEs at 4/C+ | 11 | 73% |
| Pupils achieving a grade 4/C in English, Maths and Science GCSEs | 9 | 60% |
| Pupils achieving at least 5 GCSEs (1-9) or equivalent (including English and Maths) | 8 | 53% |
| Pupils achieving at least 5 GCSEs or equivalent, grades 4-9 or C-A* | 8 | 53% |
Our top performing pupil achieved 7 GCSE passes including 1x9, 1xB, 1x6, 2x5s, 1x4 and 1x L2 Pass.
We are immensely proud of all our learners academic and social achievements.
Pupil destinations
The Rise is a KS1-KS5 provision with our youngest pupils currently in Year 5 and eldest in Year 14.
Some of our Sixth Form students complete a 3-year programme, which is why we have some Year 14s.
We have destinations for both Year 11s and Year 13/14s.
