Rivacre Brook starts at 9am and finishes at 2:40pm daily.
All children are able to have a freshly cooked, healthy meal (i.e. pasta bake, chicken curry, or mac and cheese), or a cold meal, such as a sandwich or wrap. These are provided free of charge. Your child is welcome to bring in their own packed lunch, if preferred.
All pupil absence should be reported to the school office ASAP on the day of the absence, any child who is absent and we have not received confirmation from a parent will be contacted by 10am each day.
Parents/Carers of all pupils will receive a termly report showing the progress their child has made, the end of year report in July will provide a more detailed report for each subject.
All pupils who have over 100% attendance will be rewarded with certificates.
All pupils attendance will be monitored via Arbor and any child who is absent for a week or longer will be visited by a school member of staff and an attendance management from produced to support an increase in attendance and identify any potential issues or concerns.
We do not expect all pupils to wear uniforms. However, we also appreciate that many of our learners have sensory issues which can impact upon their ability to feel comfortable and ready to learn. Therefore, we will assess pupils on an individual basis.
The school expects pupils to arrive in black trousers, jogging bottoms, or skirts, and a white polo top, shirt, or T-shirt.

Mark H, ParentI can’t thank Keys enough for the care and support they’ve provided for my daughter. The staff are always attentive, and they genuinely listen to her needs. She has made amazing progress in both her education and personal growth, and I see a brighter future for her every day. Keys has truly changed our lives for the better.
We welcome referrals and enquiries from parents and local authorities. To discuss how Keys Education can support your child, please contact us using the form below or reach out to our admissions team directly.
Parents, carers, or local authorities can contact us to discuss the needs of the child.
We ask the person wishing to commission the placement (normally the Local Authority) sends over relevant information, such as, EHCP, previous school reports, professionals reports.
This allows us to conduct a thorough assessment to determine if we are the right provision to meet needs.
Once we feel needs can be met, we work closely with all parties to facilitate the placement process. If the Local Authority request the place, this is subject to funding being agreed at a panel meeting.
After admission, we provide continuous support to ensure the child settles in well and their needs are met.
