It is my pleasure to welcome you to Riverwalk School, a vibrant special school in Bury St Edmunds.
At Riverwalk, we place our pupils at the heart of everything we do, recognising and celebrating each individual’s strengths, interests, and achievements.
Our school provides high-quality education and care for children and young people aged 4–19 with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). We are committed to creating an environment where every learner feels safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.
Working closely with families, carers, and a range of professionals, our dedicated staff team ensures that every pupil’s learning journey is meaningful, personalised, and fulfilling. Through a rich and engaging curriculum, we encourage communication, independence, confidence, and a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom. Riverwalk is a community built on kindness, respect, and aspiration.
I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our school, and I warmly welcome you to visit us to experience our caring and inspiring environment firsthand.

We are delighted to share a proud moment for our school community. Recently, our hardworking Duke of Edinburgh students had their efforts at the allotment site formally recognised by Cllr Donna Higgins, Mayor of Bury St Edmunds, who visited us to present their certificates. This visit was a wonderful opportunity to showcase not only the students' dedication but also the values we uphold as a school, commitment, teamwork, and perseverance whilst working tirelessly towards achieving their award. Their determination and enthusiasm make us incredibly proud. Thank you also to Cllr Higgins for taking the time to celebrate these successes with us. Moments like these remind us of the importance of collaboration between schools and the wider community. Well done to all involved, you are an inspiration! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576854130461 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064558939444
