Tackling “Stuck Schools”: What the Rise Programme Means
The DfE’s Rise programme is expanding to tackle underperformance in schools nationwide, inspired by the London Challenge.
Aimed at supporting so-called “stuck schools,” the scheme combines targeted funding with guidance to drive lasting change in leadership, teaching and community engagement.
Its ambition is not simply to raise test scores but to tackle the deeper structural issues that hold back progress.
The approach builds on the proven success of earlier initiatives such as the London Challenge, offering struggling schools a pathway to sustainable improvement.
Education secretary Bridget Phillipson has confirmed that the DfE will double the number of schools supported by its Regional Improvement for Standards and Excellence (Rise) programme.
