"Fantastic School with a Heart of Gold!"

We've been part of the Rochester Riverside family for 5 years now, and every day we're blown away by the love, care, and dedication of the staff. The Creativity Week was a highlight for me - my child loved the freedom to express themselves through art. The Breakfast Club is also a lifesaver - it's wonderful to see the children socializing and starting the day on a positive note.

"A Real Community - We Miss You!"

We're still in touch with many of the parents and staff since our child left in 2020. Rochester Riverside really is a special place - the Christian values are palpable, and the Trust Computing Lead has been instrumental in our child's coding journey. We're so grateful for the time we spent at the school and would highly recommend it to any family.

"Mixed Feelings - Great Staff, but Some Issues"

We've had a good experience overall, but there have been some challenges with the Year 2 teacher this year. The staff are always available to chat, and we appreciate the SENDco's support for our child. However, the school day is quite rigid, and I wish there were more opportunities for flexibility. The PTA has been great, though - they always put on fantastic events for the children!
