“As a school, we work with a large number of external companies that provide opportunities for our students, but Rise Academy has set a new standard in delivery and quality of experience. I was so impressed with the planning, resources, structure and outcomes from working with rise academy. Our students had a brilliant time, gaining new skills and insights about the Media and Broadcast industry. The staff and volunteers were so professional and supportive with our students.
