RISE intends to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for students to make safe choices and become positive, healthy individuals whilst at Hollingworth Academy and in later life.
The RISE curriculum is a chance to give every young person at Hollingworth Academy an equal opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge they need to thrive now and in the future. The curriculum follows three themes, in which all the year groups simultaneously study: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Sex Education and Living in the Wider World. The content in each theme helps them to deal with critical issues they face every day such as friendships, emotional wellbeing, and change. This in turn achieves a 'virtuous circle', whereby students with better health and wellbeing can achieve better academically and enjoy greater success.
