RISE advisers are educational experts with direct experience improving schools. For targeted intervention, they will engage with the eligible school and its responsible body to consider the school’s specific improvement needs.
32 schools joined the RISE targeted intervention programme in February 2025. A further 186 schools joined the programme in the summer term.
Eligibility for RISE targeted intervention in the academic year 2025 to 2026 is identified through Ofsted inspections. Schools may gain or lose eligibility for the programme as they are inspected. This list is based on published Ofsted management information as of 31 March 2025.
Ofsted and the Department for Education are currently consulting on changes which will inform future criteria.
