RISE aims to break the link between young people’s backgrounds and their future success.

Every school is a RISE school, whether through universal resources that connect them with best practice and peer support, or targeted help for schools facing particular challenges.  

At the core of RISE are the RISE advisers, who are educational experts with direct experience of improving schools. RISE advisers work as part of a wider RISE team within the Department for Education.

RISE teams will operate at 3 levels:

• through universal RISE programmes – empowering all schools to grow and share great practice
• through the NorthEast regional plan
• providing bespoke targeted interventions to schools with the greatest barriers to improvement
