The Latest Additions to the Arise “Family”
1st April 2016
One of the things that has impressed us since the early days of Arise School is the fact that Frank and Salome always refer to the children and staff as the Arise “family”.

A Full House!

100% attendance at a glance! It may be a snapshot in time but, whilst at Arise School last Friday, Ron took this photo of the attendance board. It shows that every pupil on the school register was in school that day. There were no absences at all in any of the six classes. Quite an […]

Many of the children at Arise School are there by 6.30 a.m. They know that breakfast is served at 7 o’ clock and there is no way that they want to miss it in spite of the long distances that some of them have to walk. Once breakfast has been served, at 7.50 a.m., a […]
