​​​​​​​Testimonials

‘He is a changed boy. Mainstream school was a painful experience for the whole family. We believe Rivers ESC saved him and our family as before he joined the whole family were at crisis point . The team at Rivers are nothing short of amazing. Just a massive thank you to everyone. Keep doing the great job you already do!’

Mum

Pupil

Just wanted to say thank you to you and all the staff at Rivers ESC for helping and supporting my son whilst he has been there. All the support has helped him finish his education, which I didn’t think would happen! You have all helped him to keep on the straight and narrow, so thank you once again!

Mum

Pupil

The best thing about my child completing their education at Rivers was the teachers! They are all brilliant and my son would not have done as well anywhere else.
