DfE School Performance Tables 2017
It has been a superb start to the school year at Riverside School in our new £45million Campus building, we have now settled in and are really enjoying the excellent facilities. Our congratulations go out to last year’s Year 11 for an amazing set of examination results. Riverside School’s first ever GCSE examination results were the best in the borough and place the school in the top 4% of schools nationally, our progress is described by the DfE as WELL above average. Please look at the DfE school league tables 2017 to compare Riverside School with other schools locally and nationally: https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk. Below is a simplified table which includes late results so it will be a little more accurate than the DfE website. These results really demonstrate the true commitment and determination from our students and staff to achieve the best possible grades.
