What Kew Riverside Primary School does

Kew Riverside Primary School is a state-funded, one-form entry primary school located at 37 Courtlands Avenue, Richmond (TW9 4ES), within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, approximately eight miles from central London. The school serves up to 210 children aged 4 to 11 across Reception through Year 6, organised into mixed-aged classes (Willow for Reception, Cherry for Years 1–2, Ash for Years 3–4, Oak for Years 5–6). It is led by Headteacher Ardeep Virdi, with a specialist team including SENDCo/Inclusion Lead Lisa Melessaccio, ELSA Jessica Tuckey, and school administrator Lisa Harris.

The school runs a National Curriculum-aligned programme delivered on a two-year Cycle A/B rotation across all subjects, underpinned by a portfolio of third-party curriculum schemes: White Rose Maths (Maths Mastery), Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised plus Spelling Shed, Charanga Music, Language Angels French, Jigsaw PSHE, Get Set 4 PE (delivered via BeActive), and a Science curriculum built around five enquiry types. Wrap-around care (Breakfast Club at £4/session; Extended School Club Mon–Thu at £12.50/session) and a broad after-school clubs programme are offered as add-on services, and administrative operations are supported by Arbor (payments/communications) and the PTA via Classlist and easyfundraising.

Revenue is dominated by UK government per-pupil funding channelled through the Richmond upon Thames local authority, supplemented by modest wrap-around care fees and PTA-raised community funds (over £10,000 for a new library). Admissions are processed through the LA, with KS2 outcomes reported significantly above the national average in 2022–23, and the school holds the UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools Bronze Award. The customer base is concentrated entirely in the Kew/Richmond catchment area.
