Swimming

All students have access to our pool to support their water confidence, basic swimming skills and in some cases, hydrotherapy. In 2021-2022 over 100 students accessed our pool!

1-1 Music

Riverbank Academy has a full-time music teacher. We decided that our music teacher would not have a tutor group in the morning so they can teach 1-1 music lessons to our students (every morning 8:50-9:15) to harness their talents and interests!

Residentials

Every year between 20%-25% of our students take part in a residential. For more information on our residential programme, please CLICK HERE.

Easter Holiday and Summer Holiday Clubs!

Since 2019 Riverbank Academy plan and deliver a five-day Easter Holiday Club and ten-day Summer Holiday Club. The Easter Holiday Club provides a range of enrichment opportunities that include cooking, arts and crafts, and offsite visits such as breakfast in a local restaurant and bowling. Our Summer Holiday Club is open to all students across all pathways but mainly supports our new year 7 intake for enhanced transition. Feedback from our parents and carers is always positive and we know it works well because we always have lots of students and families wanting to take part!
