About The River School, Worcester

The River School, a non-selective, co-educational Christian school in Worcester (since 1985). The River School's core values centre on bringing out the best in our children; not just academically, but morally, emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually. The foundational Christian principles are very important to us and are fundamental to the way the school operates. Our aim for each pupil is that they are confident, well-rounded citizens with the best character qualities, skills, discipline and knowledge needed to realise their potential and gifts. River School pupils can enjoy an education from 2-16 years old, beginning in our thriving Brook Nursery. They can then transition smoothly through the primary and secondary stages until they complete their GCSEs. Class sizes are deliberately small (under 20). The School's recent ISI Inspection Report (January 2024) highlighted many positive aspects of the school, including: Pupils of all ages behave extremely well in and out of lessons Pupils of all ages make good progress in relation to their starting points There is a strong sense of community in the school and pupils are proud to be a member Teaching throughout the school is well-planned and teachers set ambitious but realistic expectations for pupils At each stage in the school, leaders help pupils to prepare for their next phase in their education There are many opportunities for children to develop their skills and confidence through the curriculum and through extra-curricular activities; such as in sport, drama and music. The School has a fantastic “Forest” school and uses this as a platform to build independence and self-esteem in the children. The River School is a place of adventure and exploration, of fresh challenges and exciting opportunities where children can discover their worth, grow their character, develop academically and pursue excellence.
