Our Primary Wing

MediaWelcome to Rise Park Academies. I have been a Headteacher for 7 years now and joined Rise Park Academies as Executive Headteacher in September 2024.  I was born and grew up in Havering and have had the privilege of working in education for over 25 years now. Rise park is the fifth school I have worked in and is my second headship. 

Rise Park Academies belongs to the pupils as without them there are no schools - therefore all decisions are based around their needs and are completely child centred. Our three key values of “Respect, Belief and Excellence” underpin all that we do and these values are part of our day-to-day school life. We constantly strive to deliver a world class education for our pupils and ensure that there is  ‘success for all’. 

Rise Park Academies is made up of a popular Nursery provision and a 3 form Infant and Junior School providing excellent education and opportunities for pupils aged 3 to 11 years old.  All parts of the academies work closely together and share systems, strategies, staff and expertise to make the pupil’s journey seamless as they transition through the school.

The school has had many recent additions within the last 10 years in the form of dedicated nursery provision and reception building. With the expansion to a 3 form entry school a new Y5/6 block was opened and a large Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA - all-weather sports pitch) for both schools. The schools also have a purpose-built heated outdoor swimming pool which enables us to offer swimming lessons to all of our children from Year 1-6 as a key life skill. The most recent addition to our facilities is a sensory pod and sensory garden where pupils can go to work for various reasons.

The Local Governing Committee, Senior Leadership Team, staff and pupils are very proud of our broad and varied provision, which is strongly supported by an active and successful PTFA, as well as a very close school community.

Our curriculum vision is based upon our seven “Learning Powers” of Respect, Inspiration, Self-Belief, Excellence, Passion, Achievement, Resilience and Knowledge. We have regular assemblies to demonstrate what these mean in everyday life and awards are linked to these powers to recognise the pupils’ efforts and achievements. The strong pastoral care and provision provides our pupils with the support that they need in order for them to flourish here at Rise park Academies and encompass the sense of community that lives within.

Our academies joined the Success For All Educational Trust in September 2021, which also includes Redden Court School, Royal Liberty School and Sanders School, all of which are very popular secondary schools in Havering. This professional relationship between both primary and secondary phases has already produced many significant benefits, including effective transitions to the next stage of our pupils’ education, exciting teaching and learning opportunities, greater opportunities for staff career development and the advantage of being able to apply economies of scale when resourcing our schools as members of a larger multi academy trust.

We welcome all parents, visitors and other agencies to work with us in partnership, as we continue to enhance and improve our educational offer to all of the pupils in our care.

If you require any further information about the school then please contact us and we look forward to working with you all in the future.

Success For All Educational Trust

Rise Park Infant School

We are very proud of the ethos we have created at Rise Park, we take great pride in the strong relationships we form with parents and carers in order to achieve the very best for our children. Our school is a very happy place where children feel safe and valued.

The addition of a school Nursery has strengthened our Early Years provision and enabled us to ensure a positive and smooth transition to full time school. We take time to get to know our families so we are fully equipped to meet the needs of individual pupils. Our Nursery and Reception leads work closely together and have a shared Early Years vision with the emphasis very much on child-led learning through play and exploration. Outdoor learning reflects the indoor classrooms and is accessible in all weathers.

As children move into year one, continuous provision is still very much a part of the curriculum. Children are able to participate in a wide range of creative and cross-curricular activities and this continues in to year two.

We have a dedicated team of staff who are committed to ensuring we provide a high standard of education for all of our pupils. There is a real sense of community across our schools and we work closely together to ensure pupils develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to enable them to succeed.

Rise Park Junior School

We pride ourselves in offering a broad, balanced and creative curriculum to ensure that pupils learn from a wide range of exciting experiences. During the year, children are involved in a variety of themed days and weeks, including Arts Week, Science Week, Book Week, Spy Day and Egyptian Day, and we often hold assemblies and workshops for children to participate in, such as road safety, knife crime, an author workshop and online safety. Pupils also attend an educational visit each academic year, with Year six attending a residential trip to prepare them for their transition to secondary school.

During their time at Rise Park Junior School, pupils have the opportunity to take on a range of leadership roles and responsibilities. This gives them the opportunity to develop real-life skills and give them an opportunity to voice their opinions, in order to help develop a school of their own. Pupils also have the opportunity to attend a range of extra-curricular activities to pursue their interests and enhance their skills.

We are proud of the strong community links that we have made with others in our local area. We have also formed positive relationships with our parents and carers who are regularly invited into school during themed weeks and to concerts and events, as we understand the importance of their role in developing their child’s education.

At Rise Park Academies, we have created a happy and welcoming ethos, for our whole school community, where parents, pupils and staff feel happy and valued. We look forward to welcoming you to our community so that your child can develop in our supportive community.
