The school is located in Worcester, England, in a large, late Georgian, Grade 2 listed building, with many outbuildings, set in 8.5 acres (34,000 m2) of wooded and open grassed areas, near the A38 road in the Fernhill Heath suburb of Worcester, England.

A report in February 2013, by the Bridge Schools Inspectorate, rated the overall quality of teaching as good, with outstanding elements.

In 1987, the Trust purchased another building close to central Worcester for use as the Brook Nursery School, for pupils aged 2–7.

However, the River School, like many a small enterprise, has suffered setbacks over the years due to a lack of funds.
