About River View Community Primary School

River View Community Primary School sits firmly in the middle of the pack when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Salford local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 56%, which is five percentage points below the LA average of 61%. That places it 44th out of 65 primary schools in Salford, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. However, the picture isn’t uniformly weaker. In writing, 73% of pupils met the expected standard, and in reading and maths it was 65% each — all respectable figures. Where the school really struggles is at the higher end: only 5% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 11% did so in writing. So while the school is broadly in line with or slightly behind the local average for core expectations, it’s not pushing many pupils into the top performance bracket.
