From the Riverside Primary School
Children between the ages of 3 and 11 attend Riverside School. Riverside has been among the top 20 schools in the country for the past three years, making our performance among the best in all of England. However, it's not just about the outcomes; those who come to see us frequently remark on how warm and welcoming we are, as well as how much they like doing business with us. We appreciate hearing that. Tower Bridge and the River Thames are both relatively close by. Being a community school, Riverside welcomes families from the neighborhood's many diverse cultures and backgrounds. Each member of our school community is extremely proud of the others.
