River House School is Warwickshire's day special school for secondary aged boys with serious and persisting emotional, behavioural, and social difficulties.
The school aims to provide a welcoming, safe and stable learning environment where pupils can learn the skills of acceptable behaviour and make good academic progress.
It is located in Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire, England, taking pupils from within Warwickshire along with a small number of boys from neighbouring authorities. Students follow a standard timetable covering all core and many optional subjects. Students all have the chance to take part in many enrichment programs in and out of school. Trips and visits are an important part of school life at RHS.
The Farm at RHS (The Barn Project)
At Riverhouse students help run the school farm, on the farm students look after pigs, chickens, rabbits, quails, and other small animals.
Topics in ICT at RHS
Topics already covered in ICT this year include using Audacity software for editing sounds recorded from the internet or using the Zoom H2 Handy Recorder.
In their ICT lessons students at RHS will be studying on how to use the Internet and that some sites can be more reliable that others, websites may have bias or inaccurate information.
One of the next topics that will be covered in ICT at RHS will be Geocaching . Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment[1]. We will be setting up a geocache close to the school. The nearest geocache is at the Aqueduct near Bearley called Aqueduct One[2]
