WELCOME TO
WIRRAL RISE
Our Approach
We provide bespoke support for children and young people with a neurodivergent diagnosis who face challenges accessing mainstream education.
Our provision is designed for those who are:
-
Struggling to attend school regularly
-
At risk of fixed-term or permanent exclusion
-
Experiencing Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
We currently support pupils in Years 1 to 6, many of whom are highly verbal, capable learners who encounter significant barriers in traditional educational settings.
Our cohort often presents with complex and layered needs, including:
-
Demand avoidant profiles, including features of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)
-
High levels of anxiety
-
Trauma associated with previous school experiences
Our Mission
Wirral Rise aims to offer a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for children whose needs cannot be fully met in mainstream settings. It focuses on building trust, emotional regulation, and positive relationships through personalised support, consistent routines, and therapeutic approaches. By addressing barriers to learning—such as anxiety, communication difficulties, or trauma—the provision supports each child’s social, emotional, and academic development, with the long-term goal of reintegration into a suitable educational pathway.
- Safeguarding at Wirral Rise
The safety and wellbeing of every child and young person at Wirral Rise is our highest priority. We work hard to create a safe, welcoming place where everyone feels respected and valued.
All staff are trained to spot and respond to any concerns quickly, and we follow clear procedures to keep children safe. If we have any safeguarding concerns, we record them securely and share relevant information with the child’s school to make sure they get the right support.
