Headteacher Welcome

Welcome To The Riverview Academy!

As Headteacher of The Riverview Academy, I am incredibly proud to welcome you to our school community.

Riverview is a large school with a close community. Our size allows us to offer children a wide range of opportunities, experiences and support, while our culture ensures that every child is known, valued and feels part of something special.

At Riverview, our vision is simple: Belong. Matter. Succeed.

We want every child to feel that they belong here; that they are part of a strong, welcoming community. We want every child to know that they matter; that their voice, individuality and contribution are important. We want every child to succeed; academically, personally and in whatever comes next for them in their journey.

We have high expectations for every pupil and are ambitious about what they can achieve. Our curriculum is broad, carefully planned, and enriched with experiences that build knowledge, develop curiosity and give children opportunities to discover their strengths and interests.

Alongside academic success, we place great importance on the kind of people our children become. The Riverview Way sits at the heart of school life, built around our values of Excellence, Kindness, Teamwork, Responsibility, Resilience and Respect. These values shape how we learn, how we treat one another and how we contribute to our community.

We recognise that every child’s journey is different. Our staff work hard to understand the children in front of them, provide the right support and challenge, and create an environment where pupils feel safe, confident and ready to learn.

I hope our website gives you a sense of the warmth, ambition and opportunity that make Riverview such a special place. If you are considering joining our community, we would be delighted to welcome you for a visit and show you around.
