We are CP Riverside School; creating possibilities through alternative education.

OUR SCHOOL

We are an alternative provision free school situated within the City of Nottingham, delivering education to 12-16 year-olds who, for a variety of reasons, have found it difficult to enjoy, engage and succeed in a mainstream school, or are currently without a school place.

We work in partnership with over 25 commissioning schools and authorities to educate young people who choose to continue their pre-16 education as part of a small school community, studying a curriculum of GCSE, BTEC and vocational qualifications. Our school provides a supportive and aspirational environment that aims to ensure students make the necessary academic progress in order to achieve relevant qualifications that provide a pathway to a sustainable post-16 destination.

Our students learn in small classes and we are able to provide a tailored curriculum of learning and personal development for students in years 8, 9, 10 and 11. We aim to include all students in every aspect of school life and meet their individual needs by removing barriers to learning, raising their self-esteem and building confidence and resilience.
