Our Ethos Riverston School is: Inclusive We welcome children of all backgrounds, talents and faith, to learn and develop together as a close-knit community. If we feel that we can meet the individual needs of a child, and this is based on their ability to access the curriculum on offer and behave in such a way that the unique dynamics of our nurturing and caring setting is not affected, we will consider a placement for your child. It is crucial for the school to maintain a calm and non disruptive environment which enables children to have the opportunity to progress academically, pastorally and socially, in safe and caring surroundings. In this respect we will not consider children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) or with complex social, emotional and mental health conditions (SEMH) for placements, or have a global development delay which restricts their access to a mainstream curriculum.
