The school's focus on communication, independence, and confidence has really helped our child grow and develop. We love the way the staff take the time to get to know each child and support them in their individual needs. The Christmas tree donation from Rougham Estate was a lovely touch, and our child was thrilled to be involved in decorating it. *(Dec 2022)* - **5/5** — Wonderful school and community!: My son has thrived at Riverwalk since joining in Year 5. The staff are kind, supportive, and dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential. We love the sense of community at Riverwalk, and the facilities are excellent. The outdoor spaces are a particular highlight, and the children get to enjoy activities that many other schools can only dream of. *(Sep 2022)* - **3/5** — Some positive aspects, but room for improvement: We're generally happy with Riverwalk, but there are a few areas that need attention. The Duke of Edinburgh award is a great program, and our child has really benefited from it. However, we've noticed that sometimes the communication from the school can be patchy, and it's not always easy to get in touch with the right person. We hope the school will address these issues to provide an even better experience for families. *(Jun 2022)* - **5/5** — A great place for children to grow: My child attended Riverwalk for several years, and it was a truly transformative experience. The school's values of kindness, respect, and aspiration really shine through in the way the staff interact with the children. The curriculum is engaging and inclusive, and the facilities are fantastic. We're so grateful for the time our child spent at Riverwalk. *(Jul 2021)* ## Other schools in Bury St Edmunds - [Barrow Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury-st-edmunds/barrow-church-of-england-voluntary-controlled-primary-school-9792) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Barningham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury-st-edmunds/barningham-church-of-england-voluntary-controlled-primary-school-9791) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) - [Elmswell Community Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury-st-edmunds/elmswell-community-primary-school-9751) — 4.6/5 (4 reviews) - [Guildhall Feoffment Community Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury-st-edmunds/guildhall-feoffment-community-primary-school-9758) — 4.6/5 (4 reviews) - [Woolpit Primary Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury-st-edmunds/woolpit-primary-academy-17140) — 4.6/5 (4 reviews) - [Priory School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bury-st-edmunds/priory-school-12993) — 4.5/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
