Academy overview

Welcome to Rivers Primary Academy, a vibrant and expanding primary school and nursery located in the heart of the Blakenall area in Walsall. Since our inception in September 2020, we have swiftly evolved into a two-form entry school, boasting state-of-the-art modern facilities in our brand-new building. At Rivers, we are more than just a school; we are a gateway to limitless possibilities, deeply embedded in our community yet always looking outwards to the wider world.

Ethos and values

At the core of Rivers Primary Academy, we believe in the unique potential of every child. Our mission is to nurture this potential in a joyful, supportive, and stimulating environment. We pride ourselves on our collaborative spirit, working closely with parents and the community to ensure that each child not only achieves but exceeds their full potential. Our curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity and inspire our students to aspire to greatness, providing a solid foundation in both academic excellence and personal growth.

Through the Windsor Academy Trust’s groundbreaking EmpowerED program, we are proud to offer all children from Year 2 to Year 5 their own iPads. This initiative is central to our commitment to providing cutting-edge educational tools that enhance learning, foster digital literacy, and maximise academic achievement. Our aim is to equip our students with the skills they need to navigate and succeed in an increasingly digital world.

Our educational journey is enriched by a diverse range of experiences, from expert-led workshops and exciting field trips to musical instruction and sports representation. These are further bolstered by the Windsor Academy Trust's ambitious "11 before 11" pledge, promising a holistic education that transcends the traditional curriculum to prepare our students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

At Rivers Primary Academy, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where children are empowered to seek excellence in everything they do. We invite you to join our community, where every child is encouraged to shine, and where education is a passport to a world of possibilities.
