School profile

Rivermead Primary School

We are a state-funded school and teach pupils from Reception up to Year 6, accepting children from 4 to 11 year olds.

Rivermead Primary School has been at the heart of the Woodley community for 80 years. Our school offers a caring, warm and stimulating environment which enables children to be supported, grow and thrive.

It is our role to provide each child with a range of opportunities and to find the ‘magic’ key that will unlock their full potential, whether it is academic, the arts or sport.

We believe in allowing the children to take risks within a safe environment, receiving the encouragement and support they need to take each new learning step in their Rivermead journey.

We are part of Bellevue Place Education Trust (BPET), a multi-academy trust which supports free primary schools across London and Berkshire.

Teacher training

You can train to become a teacher at our school through the Bellevue Place Scitt:

- Teach First: partnered with our trust, Bellevue Place Education Trust, to deliver a one-year long School Centred Initial Teacher Training programme (SCITT) at our school. This programme involves a powerful mix of live training in class, self-directed study and one-to-one support.

At the end of the programme you will gain qualified teacher status (QTS) and Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).
