We are delighted to share the findings of our recent Ofsted inspection, which took place on 8 July 2026.

The report recognises the many strengths of our school, with Strong standards identified in Early Years, Inclusion, and Personal Development and Wellbeing. Safeguarding standards were also met.

“Leaders have high expectations and aspirations for giving children the best possible start.”

Inclusion
“The school is highly inclusive and builds effective relationships with parents and carers.”

Personal Development and Wellbeing
“Leaders have created a personal development programme that thoughtfully nurtures pupils’ character, broadens their horizons…”

Achievement, Curriculum and Leadership

Published outcomes over time have been above national averages in reading, writing and mathematics, with pupils developing secure knowledge and skills across the curriculum.

Curriculum and Teaching
“Leaders have created a broad and ambitious curriculum, which is thoughtfully organised.”

Leadership and Governance
“Leaders and the governing body have established an environment that fosters harmony, collaboration and determination.”

Behaviour and Wellbeing

Ofsted recognised that “Pupils’ behaviour is a real strength of the school.” Pupils are described as polite, courteous and friendly, taking pride in their work and supporting one another. Bullying and discrimination are rare, and pupils feel safe and confident in approaching trusted adults when they have concerns.

The report also highlights pupils as “happy, confident and responsible individuals”, while parents appreciate the school’s warm, caring and close-knit community.

We would like to thank our pupils, staff, families and governors for their continued hard work, commitment and support. This report reflects the strong sense of community at Kew Riverside and the dedication of everyone who helps our pupils to thrive.
