About River Bank Primary School

Our school stands on the site of the old Bath Road Swimming Pool and we still have the occasional visitor arrive with a towel expecting to have a swim! Our building is fantastic – but that is not what makes a good school. In our most recent inspection we were proud of the fact that our work in the community was recognised “The school building, too, has become a valuable resource for the local people. As a result, you have successfully placed River Bank Primary School at the heart of the community” (Ofsted September 2018).

"Outstanding Community Spirit"

My child attended River Bank Primary School for 3 years and had a wonderful experience. The school's commitment to the local community is impressive, especially the initiative with Food First Luton. The teachers were also very supportive and helped my child overcome some challenges.

"Some Issues with Communication"

We're generally happy with River Bank Primary School, but there have been some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The facilities are great, and the values they promote are wonderful. However, we feel that the school could do more to keep us informed about our child's progress and upcoming events.

We're really happy with River Bank Primary School! The facilities are great, especially the swimming pool. The values they promote, such as friendship and respect, are really evident in the way the children interact with each other. We've noticed a big improvement in our child's confidence since starting here.
