Are you ready to play your part in transforming the lives of children with complex needs and the lives of their families? Do you have the passion, resilience and dedication to enable our pupils to find true fulfilment? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Riverside is a highly-regarded school for children with severe and complex learning difficulties, many of whom are on the autistic spectrum. We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds and experiences, including Early Career Teachers and we have a strong track record of supporting teachers new to special education.

We are a forward-thinking and innovative all-age (3-19) special school with a diverse population: our 360 pupils are based on four sites, St Paul’s Cray, Beckenham, West Wickham and Phoenix (Bromley), in the London Borough of Bromley. Pupil, family and staff engagement is extremely important to us and we strive to involve the whole school community in making Riverside the most incredible place for our pupils to learn and our staff to work. We aim to provide the kind of specialist education and opportunities that our families want and our pupils deserve. We stand together to promote inclusion and celebrate diversity so that everyone in our school community feels a true sense of belonging.

Our core values are at the heart of everything we do:

A spiration Resilience C reativity Humility I integrity T trust Enthusiasm C ourage Teamwork

They make up the acronym ARCHITECT to signify our passion for designing and building a school that will make an indelible mark on the world for generations to come; a school that will impact positively on everyone who enters, on people we may never meet, and in ways we may never know. We see our pupils’ time at Riverside School as just the first part of their journey and we want them to leave us at the age of 19 as confident, lifelong learners. We also want them to remember their time with us with great affection, with memories of life-enriching experiences and enduring relationships.
