River Tree Free School offers a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum.  Our Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Policy underpins practice which is reviewed annually.  

ll pupils who attend River Tree Free School have an Education Health & Care Plan. Pupils are admitted throughout the year depending upon meeting criteria and availability of places within the appropriate class group.

The final decision is made after consultations between the parents, child, school and Local Authority. Then if all agree, a place is offered within the school. For further information about admissions, please contact your local authority reviewing officer. Contact details for Bedford’s SEND Team are:
