About The Riverview Academy

The Riverview Academy is a state primary school in Gravesham, Kent, that is significantly undersubscribed relative to its physical capacity. With 314 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 840, the school operates at just over a third of its potential size. This is not due to a lack of local demand, however: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 186 total applications for 85 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.19 applicants per place. Of those, 80 families listed it as their first preference, and all 80 received offers. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20.1%, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school is mixed, non-religious, and caters for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
