## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Good School, Room for Improvement: We've been generally happy with Riverside Primary Academy, but we felt that the school could do more to engage our child in learning. The football team did well, but the communication from the school about events and activities could be better. Overall, it's a good school, but we feel it could improve in a few areas. *(Jul 2023)*
- **5/5** — Riverside Primary Academy - A Great Choice: We've been really happy with our experience at Riverside. The sports day was a highlight for our child and the drama club was a great way to encourage creativity. The only thing that stopped me from giving 5 stars is that I felt the after-school wraparound childcare could be more flexible. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with Excellent Teachers: I have two children who attended Riverside Primary Academy, and I couldn't be more grateful for the education they received. The teachers were supportive and helped my children to develop a love for learning. The facilities are also excellent, and the trips to places like Beamish and Durham Cathedral were always a highlight. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Our Experience at Riverside Primary Academy: I'm so impressed with the school's facilities, the kids have always come home excited after their first aid workshop and the Earth Day activities were a great way to teach them about sustainability. The teachers are friendly and approachable, and the staff's commitment to their values such as 'raising pupil aspirations' is clear. *(Sep 2022)*
