Our Core Values
School Community
Riverside Bridge School is an expanding Special School and the only of its kind in the borough. We are based on a school campus which is home to Riverside Primary School and Riverside Secondary School alongside ourselves.
Parents
At Riverside Bridge School, we support the notion of working together with home and school. This continuity enables clear stepping stones of improvements both inside and outside of the school environment. All pupils are issued with a Home/School diary for ease of communication. However, parents/carers are always encouraged to arrange a face to face meeting or have a telephone call discussion if they have anything they wish to discuss in more detail. This can be done by using the details on the ‘home’ page.
Staff
We have a dynamic and inspirational team of teachers and co-educators, academically well-qualified, hard-working and committed to ensuring that every pupil achieves their very best. In addition we have a number of other support staff to fulfil the needs of the school, the pupils, our parents/carers and other professionals who play a part in the daily life at Riverside Bridge School.
Facilities
In September 2016, we moved to the Riverside Campus on Renwick Road. We are fortunate enough to have our own sports facilities, dining hall and food technology room. Where appropriate, pupils travel to and from these additional rooms which are located in the secondary side of the campus. Our playground has been purpose built in order to create areas of activities.
In September 2022, we opened our new EYFS section on the Thames Road Site.
Technology
The school is equipped with the latest in technology, each classroom has a networked computer, interactive whiteboard and speakers. Outside the classroom we have an interactive sensory room and an ICT suite for students to develop there ICT skills.
Sport
Our P.E. facilities are excellent as we have our own sports hall within the Riverside Campus, along with shared access to the many outdoor multi-use games areas.
Catering
In the summer of 2017, the borough appointed Aspens Catering services to provide lunches for the site. Pupils are encouraged to independently choose from a menu daily. Where applicable pupils may also bring a packed lunch.
