About Us
Riverside Primary Academy is a successful primary academy which is growing in size over the next few years. We have been a one form entry school but we are accepting more children and families and are expanding to being a two form entry school. Our academy is highly aspirational but this is balanced very carefully with the personal and social needs of the children. We make every effort to provide the children with excellence every day and we work very hard to make sure learning is fun. Children at our academy continue to make great progress from their starting point to the point at which they leave us. Some children make much higher than expected academic progress. We cater for high attainers and for children who need additional support and all groups of children achieve well.
Our academy does not have any particular religious denomination. We teach from a Christian perspective but children also learn a little about other religions in our world so that they can fit into society as part of an ever changing global community.
Parents, carers and others who visit our school always comment on how quiet and how organised our school feels. There is a sense of purpose and calm throughout. Why not see for yourself and arrange a visit by telephoning our office or look on our website for parent testimonials?

* After the end of the school day, we provide wraparound care for our families.

Prices for this child care is lower than other facilities in our location. Please ring school or see our website for up to date prices.
* Extra- Curricular clubs run at the end of the school day which cater for a range of age groups over the week. Charges for these clubs vary due to whether or not refreshments are included.
