Welcome
Discover a growing family of schools based in the heart of Medway, working as a community, in collaboration, with commitment and innovation in the relentless pursuit of excellence.
The Rivermead Inclusive Trust was founded by the Headteacher and Governors of Rivermead School in 2016. The core value of the trust is to not only raise standards but to have a strong sense of moral purpose to promote 'life in modern Britain'.
The Headteacher and the Governors want to pursue this vision to enhance and secure teaching and learning for learners within todays educational environment.
Welcoming All Faith Schools
At Rivermead Inclusive Trust, we are proud to be an inclusive, values-led Multi-Academy Trust. We warmly welcome faith schools of all denominations who share our commitment to:
Educational excellence
Mutual respect
Nurturing the whole child
We work closely with parish councils and the Diocese to honour and support each school’s unique ethos and traditions. Our values of belonging and collaboration ensure that every school joining our Trust feels part of a wider family—where individuality is celebrated and collective strength is nurtured.
Considering Joining a Mixed Trust?
We understand that mergers between faith and non-faith schools can raise important questions about:
The school’s ethos and religious character
Admissions policies
The curriculum, especially in religious education
We are fully committed to ensuring that the religious character of a school is carefully considered during the merger process so that the school’s faith identity is maintained or adapted. This will be negotiated and agreed upon by all parties, with respect and transparency at the heart of every decision.
Thinking about the next step for your school?
We’d love to start a conversation about how we can grow together.
