We offer you a warm welcome to our school website, a space designed to provide you with a glimpse into our vibrant school community and share the exciting opportunities available to our pupils, their families, and our dedicated staff. Since opening our doors in September 2015, Riverside Bridge School has proudly served as a day special school for children and young people aged 4-18 in the Local Authority of London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, as well as from other boroughs across London. We are on a journey of growth and will continue to expand until we reach our maximum capacity of 280 pupils. Our vision is to cultivate a safe and inclusive community where every individual feels empowered, valued and respected. We strive to foster effective communication, emotional well-being and lifelong learning, encouraging curiosity, independence and a meaningful role in society. Our school’s values of Achievement, Independence, Inclusion, Resilience, Respect and Well-Being are at the heart of everything we do. They guide us in creating excellent attitudes towards learning, building character, shaping the mindsets and behaviours of future independent and responsible adults, and promoting the highest achievements for our pupils. Our staff are devoted to ensuring that all our pupils remain at the centre of all that we do. Celebrating all their successes and achievements is a source of immense joy for us, and we look forward to sharing these moments with you.
