What do our families say?

At Lemington Riverside Primary School, we believe that working in partnership with our families is one of the key reasons our children thrive. Every year we ask parents and carers for their honest views so that we can celebrate what is working well and identify where we can continue to improve.

Thank you to the parents and carers who completed our summer 2026 Parent/Carer Survey. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and we're incredibly grateful for the time taken to share your views.

Our Headline Results

⭐ 100% of parents and carers said they would recommend Lemington Riverside Primary School to another family.

Families consistently told us that they value:

A caring, supportive and welcoming school community
Strong relationships between staff, pupils and families
Excellent communication with teachers and staff
Children who feel safe, happy and settled at school
Staff who go above and beyond to support both children and families
Positive approaches to behaviour and emotional wellbeing
The wide range of enrichment opportunities, educational visits and family support available.

Many parents also commented on the dedication, kindness and professionalism of our staff and the inclusive atmosphere that makes Lemington Riverside feel like a family.

Listening and Improving

We're proud that many parents told us there was little or nothing they felt the school needed to improve. However, we are always looking to get even better and carefully consider every suggestion we receive.

Some of the areas highlighted for consideration included:

End of day collection arrangements around the school gates - we are a growing school and pupil numbers have increased significantly in recent years, from September 2026 we have amended our end of day routines in a way that we feel will make the end of the day even calmer and smoother. Read more about this here.
Continuing to develop communication with families. We use the Greenhouse Schools App (downloadable from the Google Play and Apple stores on all mobile devices) as well as regularly updating our website (you can see the school calendar by clicking here) and we also regularly update our Facebook page.
Reviewing lunch menu choices - We work closely with our dedicated kitchen team to develop a menu that has a wide range of choice and also choices that we know our children enjoy. At our summer parents evening we also offered some tasters of some of the items from our menu. We have also changed the way children order food at the start of the school day to ensure everybody always gets their first choice of school meal each day.
Providing additional homework opportunities. At Lemington Riverside we encourage all children to read at home with an adult every night. We also provide occasional maths and English homework in the middle and upper years. All children can also access our online educational software programmes at home such as Lexia and Times Table Rockstars if they wish to continue and extend their learning.

Thank You

We are incredibly proud of the strong partnership we have with our families. Your feedback confirms that Lemington Riverside continues to be a caring, inclusive and ambitious school where children feel safe, happy and supported to achieve their very best.

We will continue listening, learning and working together to make our school even better for every child and every family.
