On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you to River View Primary and Nursery School. We hope you find our website clear, informative and easy to navigate. It is designed to give you a flavour of the vibrant life of our school, the work of our pupils and the quality education we strive to deliver.

Being the Head teacher of River View Primary and Nursery School gives me great pleasure. I am fully committed to the community of River View Primary and Nursery School and strive to ensure that the school serves our local children and their families well.

It is my priority that the education your child receives here with us will enable them to achieve their academic potential and progress confidently into the next phase of their education, it is also part of my vision that all our children are filled with positive experiences, that they are aware of the endless possibilities that await them and that they are nurtured in order to develop within them, a confidence to embrace whatever comes their way.  Underpinning the above, is my relentless commitment to ensuring that the children of River View Primary and Nursery School possess the values that enable them  to live well in society and prepares them to deal effectively with the challenges that the modern world presents.

All of my staff share this vision and recognise children as unique individuals with specific talents and needs.  They work tirelessly to provide a varied and engaging curriculum and a positive school experience. You’ll find our classrooms to be hives of activity and full of creativity and learning, making River View a special place indeed for children.

If you would like to know more about our school, you are very welcome to come and visit.  The children of River View very much enjoy talking about and sharing their achievements and our successes.
