Our core purpose, our mission, is to transform our children’s lives and the lives of their families and our vision is to inspire breakthroughs in the way society enables children with complex needs to find true fulfilment.
Our mission and vision are underpinned by four pledges:

We will inspire our pupils, families and the wider community to make the seemingly unachievable achievable through the Performing Arts.
We will ensure current and future pupils make remarkable progress by attracting and training the highest calibre special educators at Riverside School and beyond.
We will influence the world of specialist education by creating an innovative curriculum framework based around The Pursuit of Happiness.
