River Mead Staff Hub
Welcome to River Mead School!
Welcome to River Mead! We are really excited that you have decided to join our team.
We understand that starting a new role can be daunting, and want to help you settle into life at River Mead as quickly as possible. This page is your Induction Pack – everyone who joins us gets this information, regardless of their role, and it’s really important that you read it carefully. It is a collection of crucial policies, documents and training that everyone working in our school needs to be aware of. You must read through this carefully, and when you have done so complete the form at the bottom of the page.
Get in touch with us as soon as you can if you’re not sure about anything – there is no such thing as a stupid question! If you have any questions at all, about anything, please contact Nikki at nhewlett@rivermead.wilts.sch.uk.
