School remains Good Inspected 20 September 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils at River View, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are happy to come to school.”
- “They described their learning as ‘fun’.”
- “The school has high expectations for what all pupils can achieve academically.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, pupils do not have enough opportunities to build and connect their knowledge and therefore deepen their learning.”
- “Occasionally, this training does not have the impact that it should.”
- “For example, the programme to help pupils who find reading more difficult to catch up with their peers is sometimes not delivered consistently.”
