      “Parents Are Well Informed About Learners Progress” – Ofsted

      At Riverside College we believe that parents play a vital role in ensuring student success and we are committed to developing a successful partnership with parents to make sure that every student is supported to reach their full potential. We communicate with parents on a regular basis and always welcome enquiries about student progress.


      Parents Will Receive:

      • Prompt contact in the event of poor attendance or progress
      • An invitation to a welcome evening in the first half term
      • An invitation to attend progress evenings in each academic year
      • Progress reports twice a year

      What Our Parents Say:

      “We are very pleased that our daughter chose Riverside College. It has exceeded our expectations.”
      “My son is taught by inspiring teachers who are doing some amazing work with him. We couldn’t be happier. “
      “He loves being at College and both of his tutors have had such a positive influence on him. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.”
      “The staff at Riverside are excellent. Really pleased with the way my daughter is progressing.”

      Operation Encompass

      In conjunction with Cheshire Police, Riverside College is involved in a new initiative called Operation Encompass. The purpose of Operation Encompass is to safeguard and support children and young people who have been involved in, heard or witnessed a domestic abuse incident. Following such an incident, young people will often arrive at College distressed, upset, worried and unprepared. Operation Encompass aims to ensure that appropriate College staff (called Key Adults) are made aware early enough to support children and young people in a way that means they feel safe and included.

      At Riverside College our Key Adults are Thalia Bell, Paula Mitchell and Anna Hopwood

      This is a valuable initiative that means we can continue to support and help children and families within our school community when they need it the most.

      You can find our more by visiting www.operationencompass.org or by contacting our Key Adult.
