"Exceptional Support for Our Son"

We have been truly impressed with the Riverside Education team from day one. Our son has thrived in the supportive environment and has benefited from the Work-Based Learning Programme and Animal Activity Licence. The staff genuinely care about each student's individual needs and provide exceptional pastoral support. We highly recommend Riverside Education!

"Room for Improvement but Overall Satisfactory"

We have mixed feelings about Riverside Education. Our child has made some good friends and has benefited from the vocational courses. However, we feel that the school could improve communication with parents and provide more opportunities for student involvement in decision-making processes. Additionally, the facilities could be upgraded to better meet the needs of students with SEN.

"Outstanding Education and Care"

We have nothing but praise for Riverside Education, where our child spent two amazing years. The school's Rights Respecting School Award ethos and mental health support really made a difference to our child's well-being and academic progress. We appreciate the school's unique approach and the dedication of the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure each student feels valued and respected.
