About Riverside Junior School

Riverside Junior School gets a strong thumbs-up from its parent community. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 91% of the 34 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's a very high level of satisfaction. Digging into the detail, 94% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and a similar proportion felt their child is safe. On behaviour, 88% agreed the school ensures pupils are well-behaved. The school is significantly undersubscribed, with 118 pupils on roll against a capacity of 250, so there is plenty of space for new starters. This combination of strong parental endorsement and available places makes it a particularly interesting option for families moving into the Calderdale area mid-year or those who have struggled to get into more oversubscribed local primaries.
