"A School That Works for Some, Not All"

We had mixed experiences with Rivermead School during our child's time there. While the staff were friendly and supportive, we felt that the school's curriculum could be more challenging for our child. However, we appreciate the school's commitment to safeguarding and the care provided by the therapy teams.
