____________________________________
* Since Riverside School is a special school, and all Riverside’s students have a Statement of
Special Educational Needs or an Education, Health and Care Plan, the need for a detailed
report exclusively focusing on provision for SEN students does not apply since all the
school’s policies and procedures apply to all students equally. However, the school considers
it useful to record some headline statistics about the school’s student community annually.
