We enjoy meeting the many visitors who come to our school to have a look around. During normal circumstances, tours take place during term time, when you can come and meet the Headteacher and be shown around the school by a dedicated member of staff/parent. It is a great opportunity to see our lovely school for yourself, and to take a peek into each classroom.
If you are interested in a visit/tour, please contact the office via email on info@riversdale.wandsworth.sch.uk or phone the school on 0208 874 6904.
In case you are unable to visit the school, the staff and students have developed a short tour video to give you a little taste of what life at Riversdale is like. You can find this below.
To accompany the tour video, we have put together a Frequently Asked Questions document, which you can find here.
