Understanding Our Upper Primary Admissions (Grade 4-7)

As students enter their upper primary years, their educational needs evolve. They have developed distinct learning styles, academic strengths, and areas where they may need more support. At Riverstone Primary, our admissions process for Grades 4 to 7 is thoughtfully designed to recognize and respond to this critical stage of development.

Why We Assess Upper Primary Students

It’s important to understand that our entrance assessment isn’t about creating barriers—it’s about ensuring we can provide the right educational environment for your child to thrive. The goal is to gain a clear picture of where your child is on their learning journey so we can meet them there, challenge them appropriately, and support their continued growth from day one. This approach helps us confirm that Riverstone is the best fit for your child, and that your child will be happy and successful in our rigorous and engaging ZIMSEC-aligned curriculum.

A Supportive and Transparent Process

Even with an assessment, our core philosophy remains the same: the admissions process should be clear, supportive, and built on open communication. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for your family. Our admissions team will walk you through every step, from the registration form to explaining what to expect during the assessment and verifying clearance from a previous school.

Your Path to Joining Our Upper Primary School:

1. Schedule a Tour: We invite you to visit our campus to see our dynamic Upper Primary classrooms, meet our specialist teachers, and get a feel for our community.
