The Riverside School learning journey

Education at Riverside: Nursery, Primary and Secondary

A learning journey for ages 3–18, including a planned senior stage. Current stages are Nursery, Primary · KS1–KS2, Secondary · KS3 and Secondary · KS4. Discuss the appropriate stage and next transition with our team.

Ages 16–18 — planned senior stage. Russian Grades 10–11 and an international Sixth Form pathway are planned for a future academic year. The opening year, programme details, subjects and admission requirements will be announced before enrolment opens.

Riverside offers Russian and British educational pathways. At your visit, we will explain the selected class’s curriculum, subjects, teaching languages and workload. The appropriate pathway is discussed in light of age, previous learning and your family’s goals.

Nursery

Early development and a confident start

Gentle settling in, language and independence. English through conversation, play, creativity and discovery.

Primary · KS1–KS2

Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2

Literacy, mathematical thinking, Russian and English. Children build learning habits, confidence and teamwork.

Secondary · KS3

The next stage after Primary

Deeper subject learning through research, sources, discussion and presentations, with growing independence.

Secondary · KS4

The next stage after KS3

Deeper subject study, independent work and discussion of the pupil’s and family’s learning goals.

One school. A connected learning journey.

Each stage at Riverside builds on the one before. Children grow in a familiar community where they are known and supported. Teachers share an understanding of each child’s progress and help them take on more demanding academic challenges gradually.

As pupils grow, learning becomes deeper and more independent. They learn to set goals, work with information, develop hypotheses, explain their reasoning, carry out research and present their findings.

Russian and British educational pathways

Support with English: ESL and one-to-one assistance

We offer ESL (English as a Second Language) and/or one-to-one assistance. The format, amount of support and terms are agreed with the family according to the child’s needs.

At your visit, we will discuss the chosen class’s curriculum, the subjects taught in each language and the support that will help your child take part confidently.
