Riverside Special School has for a third time been awarded Autism Accreditation from the National Autistic Society.
The award is given following a rigorous assessment process and acknowledges Riverside’s person-centred approach showing a consistent understanding and implementation of good practice in supporting autistic young people.
The work of the sixth form, safeguarding practice and pupil well-being were singled out for particular praise as well as the good educational progress made by students. The reviewing committee concluded that they had no doubt that the school has a significant impact on the quality of life of the young people they support as they transition through school and into adulthood.
