📚 A huge thank you for the kind donations that we received this morning! These will bring joy to so many! Ms Myers has curated an #Amazon Wishlist to stock our library so that students can engage in a range of wonderful texts. Can you help? 📚 amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls…
That's a wrap! 🎉 Huge thanks to our amazing students, staff, parents, and governors for a brilliant year. Wishing you all a restful, joyful, and well-earned summer break! #TeamMET #ProudOfOurSchools #ThankYou #SummerBreak #SchoolCommunity
What a JOY it is to be leading on reading at a school where it is truly valued. Check out our first T&L newsletter to find out how we’ve built a meaningful reading culture. 📚
Reading changes lives! So rightfully, reading is at the core of everything that we do at River Academy. The result? More than 60% of our students have made more than 12 months progress in their reading in just 8 months. Find out how we did this: river-academy.co.uk/attachments/do…
We thought we’d share this end-of-term card that came in today. It really does sum up our staff body and their efforts, and we are so pleased that so many students and parents recognise their hard work. #ItIsWhoWeAre
This is my tutor group 😁 So proud of them and to ALL the students and staff at River Academy. What am amazing year it's been, being the first cohort of students and the first group of teachers in Reading's brand new school. It is who we are!
And we finished by celebrating our Sports Day and Inter-House winners: KENNET!! #WorkHardPlayHard

We also celebrated those students with the highest levels of commitment on @SparxReader and @SparxMaths! They really have been the epitome of our mantra: ‘daily habits’! #ItIsWhoIAm
The last day of the year at River Academy, and we had a lot to celebrate, recognising #excellence and #determination across subjects, and highlighting the exceptional character of students. So many superstars!

Great fun at the PTA disco yesterday!! A lovely finish to a brilliant week. The students have had a PGL residential, Enrichment day, Sports Day and a disco. Extra opportunities for all but we still had a 99% completion rate for @SparxMaths and @SparxReader. #workhardplayhard
It’s Sports Day at River Academy today and the sense of #community is in full swing! #WorkHardPlayHard

Yesterday, River students had a brilliant time visiting the @UniofReading, sparking their interest in HE. Students enjoyed a campus tour and lunch. They learnt more about Ancient History and even extracted DNA from strawberries! Thank you, Debi and @UniRdg_Outreach #Ambition
Year 7 enjoyed a brilliant Enrichment Day today, delivered by @BriymUk: basketball, sound-bathing, art, dance and more. With the focus on resilience and positive mindsets, it was a different lesson with a very similar River message. #YouHaveGotThis
Such a fantastic weekend on @RiverAcReading’s first residential trip at @PGLTravel Liddington. A huge thanks to Miss Moore for leading the trip and to the staff body for accompanying. Students were amazing, and should be very proud of what they achieved! #WorkHardPlayHard
Another great day at @PGLTravel! So much fun, and so many new experiences!
We had a great evening at the silent disco last night! #WorkHardPlayHard
Our first residential trip as a brand new school and @RiverAcReading students are loving it. So many compliments from the instructors about great manners and engagement. A year in and the hard work to shape character and community is definitely paying off. #WorkHardPlayHard
After a hearty breakfast, students have got straight into the fun of today at @PGLTravel! ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ #WorkHardPlayHard
Another first for the River Community! We are making history today with our first residential trip heading out - 100 students and 11 staff are on their way to @PGLTravel with a busy weekend planned! #WorkHardPlayHard #Trailblazers
