Our Curriculum Vision

At Riverside Primary School, we want our children to leave us as confident, knowledgeable and ambitious young people, ready to thrive in the wider world.

We are proud to serve our community and are committed to providing every child with the opportunities, experiences and support they need to flourish both academically and personally.

Our curriculum is designed not only to teach the statutory National Curriculum and EYFS Framework, but also to broaden horizons, nurture ambition and open doors to future opportunities.

We believe that every child can succeed. Our curriculum is ambitious, inclusive and carefully designed to ensure that every child develops the knowledge, skills and confidence needed for the next stage of their education and beyond.

Everything we do is brought together through three important elements of life at Riverside:

  • Our STAR Values shape how we live and learn.
  • Our Curriculum Drivers shape what we deliberately develop through our curriculum.
  • Together, they help our children become Riverside Learners.

Our STAR Values

Our STAR values underpin our school culture and the way we approach learning, relationships and school life.

  • STRIVEWork hard and believe in yourself.
  • TOLERANCERespect others and celebrate differences.
  • ACHIEVEBe proud of your progress and success.
  • RESILIENCEKeep going when things feel difficult.

Keep going when things feel difficult.

Our children experience and demonstrate these values throughout every aspect of school life: in lessons, relationships, behaviour, enrichment opportunities, assemblies and the wider life of the school.
