Ten Mile Bank Riverside Academy

Welcome to Ten Mile Bank Riverside Academy

We are part of the Riverside Federation with Hilgay Riverside Academy.

The Riverside Federation schools are part of the DEMAT family (the Diocese of Ely Multi-Academy Trust)

Welcome to our School,

Ten Mile Bank Riverside Academy is a small school which is valued highly by the community. The school is made up of 2 classes, a KS1 class (EYFS, Year 1, Year 2) and a KS2 class (Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6) 

Since January 2012 Hilgay Village Church of England (VC) Primary has been working in partnership with Ten Mile Bank Primary. The partnership was formalised in April 2012 and the headteacher now shares time between both schools.
Opportunities are taken to work together in academic and sporting activities.

We aim to give our pupils a broad range of knowledge and positive experiences to equip them for a happy and successful life. We do this through combining sports, artistic and musical activities within the framework of the National Curriculum.

We pride ourselves on creating an environment where children are known as individuals and where their particular needs are met as far as possible.

You will find our staff approachable and happy to discuss any aspect of your child's education with you at a mutually convenient time.


School Families



There are several goals for school families: strengthening relationships with pupils of various ages and backgrounds; building a sense of community by better connecting children to each other and to school; and providing the opportunity for our older pupils to develop valuable leadership skills and responsibilities. 

We will plan opportunities to develop relationships within our school families through games and other activities. We look forward to “family” building activities during the year! 


Our School families are all named after local waterways, on joining the school every child is put into one of our school families


Wissey - a tributary of The Great Ouse that flows through Hilgay and onto Stoke Ferry.

Cam - a tributary of The Great Ouse that flows through Cambridge.

Lark - a tributary of the Great Ouse that is navigable to West Row and flows through Isleham.

Nene - the river that flows from Northampton, through to Peterborough and out to the wash.


The families strive to earn the highest number of family points every week and every term. The children can earn points for good work, thoughtful behaviour and kind acts. 

The winning family win the Family Trophy presented to them in Achievement Assembly.
