Understand what you read. Find a solution. Explain your thinking.

Riverside’s Russian programme meets FGOS standards. At your visit, we will discuss its role in the selected stage: Primary · KS1–KS2, Secondary · KS3 or Secondary · KS4. Placement takes account of age and previous learning.

What children do in class

Children read and discuss texts, work with numbers, explore the world around them and explain how they solved a problem. Teachers help them work through difficulties and consolidate their learning.

School preparation within Nursery

School preparation takes place within Nursery. Before the first Russian school class, children develop communication, attention, an interest in books and the ability to work with a task. Ask about the activities available and what may help your child settle into school.

Russian and English: exploring your options

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.

ESL and/or one-to-one assistance are discussed separately according to the child’s needs.

Understanding your child’s progress

Ask how teachers share achievements and difficulties, which examples of work families can see and how you can support learning at home. We will explain the arrangements for your child’s class.

What to check before enrolment

Subjects and learning materials; the appropriate class; timetable; feedback on progress; fees and additional activities. The school team will help you compare the options and prepare for the start of learning.
