Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

The RiverBank School was founded in 2009. It began as a Nursery delivering the Early Year Foundation Stage with Montessori principles. The vision was birthed by the Pastor of the City of David Church, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade. The RiverBank School started in the premises of the junior church hall and a room in the church office, with the first pupil, Tochi Arinze, beginning on 2 March 2009. The school has grown in size, stature and reputation, and maintains a pupil-to-teacher ratio of 12:1.

Community

The school is an international school with over twenty countries represented in its population. It has excellent links with its diverse community. The RiverBank School has a warm, welcoming, family atmosphere. It offers a varied selection of enrichment and enhancement opportunities.

Parent-Teacher Association

The school has a Parent–Teacher Forum (PTF), a volunteer forum for fostering good relations between parents and teachers. All existing parents are automatically members. The PTF assists in organizing special events and helping raise funds for the School. An elected executive committee meets on a regular basis throughout the school year. Officers include Chairperson (Parent member), Vice-Chairperson (Parent member), Secretary (Teacher member), Assistant Secretary (Teacher member), Treasurer (Parent member) and Financial Secretary (Teacher member). Notes: The PTF is an advisory body and shall not interfere in the day-to-day running of the School; the design of all School policies rests with School Management.
