We were thrilled to welcome Thurston Performing Arts to Riverwalk School for an unforgettable day of music, movement, and fun! Our students were treated to an incredible dance performance before getting the chance to join in during an exciting workshop alongside the talented Thurston students. There were smiles, laughter, and plenty of enthusiastic dancing as everyone had a go at learning a simple routine, or simply enjoyed moving to the music together! It was wonderful to see all of our students taking part with such confidence, enthusiasm, and joy. A huge thank you to Thurston Performing Arts and Miss Barnes-Smith for sharing your talent, energy, and kindness with us. You brought so much happiness to Riverwalk School, and it was a day our students (and staff) will remember for a long time!

Leavers' Prom 2026 What a fantastic evening celebrating our amazing leavers at this year's Prom! From the moment everyone arrived in style, looking absolutely incredible, it was clear that this was going to be a night to remember. The dance floor was never empty as we laughed, celebrated and danced the night away, creating memories that will stay with us for years to come. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves and marking the end of such an important chapter together. As the evening drew to a close, there were plenty of smiles, hugs and a few bittersweet goodbyes. While we are sad to see our leavers move on, we couldn't be prouder of all they have achieved and the young people they have become. We would like to wish each and every one of them the very best for the future. Whatever path you choose next, we know you will go on to do amazing things. Once part of Riverwalk family, always part of our Riverwalk family.

Multi-Skill Council Meeting Today, four of our amazing students attended the Suffolk County Council Children & Young People SEND Improvement Board – Multi-Skill Council Meeting at Sybil Andrews Academy, Bury St Edmunds. They joined students from Sybil Andrews and were welcomed by Susie McGivor and Jamie Mills from Suffolk County Council. Together, they explored the themes "I am Healthy, I am Safe, and I am Happy," discussing what makes them feel good, where they feel safe, what they enjoy doing with friends, and how schools and Suffolk County Council can support them. Our students were incredible, sharing their ideas through drawing, using their Talk Pad, writing, and speaking. Their voices were heard, their opinions mattered, and they represented our school brilliantly. We are so proud of each and every one of them for their confidence, enthusiasm, and valuable contributions.
