Riverside School Core Values

Riverside School is a Christian school. As a school we are focused on the objectives set out in our Purpose Statement, including the provision of high quality education based on the British National Curriculum and other curricular models, which are adapted to facilitate the child’s successful integration into Riverside School and into their future schooling. That we are Christian means that our values and methods are rooted and grounded upon biblical Christian principles.

The core values for education at Riverside are set out below. These are reflected throughout the curriculum and life of the School.

At Riverside School, we recognize and act to instill the principles so that

• Each child is valued and respected; each is unique
• Each child is cared for in a protective, secure, family oriented environment
• High quality education provides an opportunity for each child to develop their full potential
• The School staff are of critical importance to a successful school
• Children have positive relationships and attitudes to others
• The School, privileged with a diversity of culture, provides social bonding and support
• The School makes a positive impact on the wider local community

The education provided at Riverside maintains its distinctive character and upholds these values because Christ is central to the life and work of the School.
