About us

The Raise Academy opened in September 2024. The school specialises in supporting pupils aged 12-16 with social, emotional and mental health difficulties, primarily from the Halton and St Helens areas. The school provides a calm, safe and welcoming environment for pupils that might have struggled to succeed in traditional educational settings.

The Raise Academy pupils have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of vocational and practical subjects that will give them new opportunities to progress personally, socially and academically. The curriculum is underpinned by high quality and supportive Maths, English and Science and all lessons are taught in small classes of up to 8 pupils, with teachers, learning mentors and pastoral/teaching assistants.

Our vision for The Raise Academy is to work tirelessly to provide excellence for every student. We hope to capture a newfound curiosity and imagination to help all become the best versions of themselves leading to high quality academic and vocational achievement and positive post‑16 destinations.
