at Together Learning Trust
Every journey is different - we’re here for yours.
At Together Learning Trust, we believe every young person deserves the right support to succeed in education, even when the mainstream classroom isn’t the right fit for them right now.
Rise offers a short-term, tailored learning environment for students who need time and space to reset, refocus, and build the skills and confidence to return to school ready to thrive.
Watch our short video to meet Leanne, our Alternative Provision Manager, and hear more about how it works.
What is Alternative Provision?
Alternative Provision (AP) provides education for young people who, for various reasons, would benefit from support outside their mainstream school. This might be due to personal challenges, emotional needs, or circumstances that make mainstream learning difficult at this time. Rise Alternative Provision offers a personalised learning experience that focuses on your child's individual needs, helping them stay engaged with education whilst working towards their goals. Rise is designed as temporary support - typically 12 weeks - with the goal of helping your child return to mainstream education feeling more confident and ready to succeed.
What does Rise offer?
Small group learning in our specialist centre
Vocational training and practical skills development
Support from external agencies when needed
One-to-one mentoring and tailored support
A clear pathway back to mainstream education
Making a referral
This year (2025–26), Rise is available to students from Ryburn and Brooksbank schools only.
We welcome referrals for Key Stage 3 students who would benefit from a short-term placement with the goal of successfully reintegrating into mainstream education.
Referrals must be made by school staff, in consultation with the student and their family.
Families should speak directly to their child’s school – not contact Rise directly.
Important: Before submitting a referral, a telephone consultation must take place. To arrange this, please call or email us at your earliest convenience.
