The Rise School opened in September 2014 under the Government’s free school programme. It is the first school to be opened by the Autism Schools Trust, a Multi Academy Trust. The school is registered for pupils aged 4 – 18 years who have autism. At full capacity the school is for 96 pupils plus sixth form. At The Rise we are preparing our pupils for the next stage in their lives from the moment they join the school.
