Proud to be part of Consortium Trust
Develop, Create, Engage
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Riverwalk School, a vibrant special school in Bury St Edmunds.
At Riverwalk, we place our pupils at the heart of everything we do, recognising and celebrating each individual’s strengths, interests, and achievements.
Our school provides high-quality education and care for children and young people aged 4–19 with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). We are committed to creating an environment where every learner feels safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.
Working closely with families, carers, and a range of professionals, our dedicated staff team ensures that every pupil’s learning journey is meaningful, personalised, and fulfilling. Through a rich and engaging curriculum, we encourage communication, independence, confidence, and a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom. Riverwalk is a community built on kindness, respect, and aspiration.
I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our school, and I warmly welcome you to visit us to experience our caring and inspiring environment firsthand.
Kind Regards,
Lukasz Rumanowski
Academy Head

Please return reply slips and payment by Friday 16th October. Pupils are welcome to come to school in fun, age-appropriate fancy dress (please avoid scary costumes as we have younger children on site).
