1) Format
abbr. of --> abbr. for

2) The US term is "elementary school" rather than "primary school".

3) "affiliated" appears to be a more suitable word than "subsidiary".
Examples:
a) 臺北市立大學附設實驗國民小學(英文:Affiliated Experimental Elementary School of University of Taipei, ESUT),簡稱北市大附小,
b) East China Normal University Affiliated Elementary School (华东师范大学附属小学)
The East China Normal University affiliated Primary School (华东师范大学附小) in Shanghai wanted to show me.

4) "*originally* attached" makes it sound like the school is no longer affiliated.

However, the first such school I was able to check on still maintains its affiliation.
The National Taipei University of Education Affiliated Experimental Elementary School (北市大附小) says they aim to "increase the connection with National Taipei University of Education to provide the integration of theory and practice."

Also, in the following TP snippet, the wording of the translation implies that the school was still attached to ECNU at the time of writing:
兩年前他在大陸華東師範大學附小看到大陸老師用英語授課;
"He recounts that two years ago, when he visited an elementary school attached to East China Normal University in Shanghai, he saw mainland teachers teaching lessons in English."

The following WP page lists 24 schools that are affiliated with ECNU:

That page would seem rather pointless if the affiliations were in name only, merely historical vestiges.
