Root & Rise
Build Strong Families. Stronger Pupils. Stronger Schools.
Root & Rise is a transformational parenting programme designed to strengthen home‑school relationships, boost parental confidence, and support pupils to thrive, all while reducing pressure on staff.
Supporting the Family Behind the Child
Children carry more than books into school.
Behind attendance concerns, behavioural challenges, emotional dysregulation and disengagement, there is often a deeper story. Many families are navigating trauma, poverty, isolation, poor mental health, domestic abuse, housing insecurity or adverse childhood experiences.
Schools see the impact every day but often have limited capacity to address the root causes.
ParentRoot Collective helps schools support families before challenges become crises through trauma-informed programmes, parent engagement initiatives and practical staff training.
