Ryvers School
About Ryvers School
Ryvers School, a large state primary in Slough for children aged 3 to 11, was judged Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, with every graded category — including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision — all rated Good. That consistency is worth noting, because the school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections. But the most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: 50% of Ryvers' Year 6 pupils hit that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is well below the Slough local authority average of 70%, and it places Ryvers 26th out of 26 primary schools in the borough. The school also ranks in the bottom 50 nationally on this measure, which suggests that while the school is providing a solidly Good experience according to inspectors, its core academic outcomes lag significantly behind its local peers.
