School Description

Riverwalk provides for pupils who have a range of special educational needs and/or disabilities, including those who have profound and multiple learning difficulties and those who have complex health needs. All pupils have an education, health and care plan. Pupils come from across Suffolk and some attend local mainstream schools on a parttime basis. The school uses no alternative providers and there are no offsite units run by the school or in conjunction with other schools.
