RB offers a warm, inclusive, nurturing environment where every child is supported to reach their full potential. We follow the EYFS framework, carefully adapted for children with special education needs and disabilities, ensuring learning is engaging, meaningful, and accessible to all. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with families to provide individualised learning plans, therapeutic support, and consistent communication between and school.
The RB academic year begins in September and applications for any given school year can be submitted starting in January of the same year.
Given that space is often limited, families are encouraged to submit an application prior to 1 March, although applications will be accepted throughout the school year.
