Our teaching goes beyond the National Curriculum, stretching children’s imaginations and encouraging them to think independently and creatively. Topics are brought to life through inspirational teaching and exciting activities and trips.
With our small class sizes we are able to know your child well and provide the individual attention they need to succeed, both academically and in the extensive range of co-curricular opportunities on offer. Our robust process for tracking pupil effort and attainment enables us to challenge and stretch children in those subjects where they demonstrate higher ability, whilst providing additional in-lesson support in those areas they may find more difficult.

We create education for today and the future. Being able to gather information is an easy task for all of us, but being able to select this information is very important. In today’s society, it is important not only to follow orders, but also to take the initiative in creating your future success. We believe that the best way for a child to take responsibility for his choices and decisions is through learning, developing his personal motivation, and creating his future. We raise self-confident, determined and active global citizens who pave the way in modern society through their experiences.
School hours are 8.00am to 4pm. Our children feel happy, secure and supported and enjoy coming to school. Through exceptional teaching, extensive co-curricular opportunities and the warm relationships they enjoy with all members of staff, our children develop the self-confidence and academic skills needed to move beyond the Junior School to our Secondary School.
Learning takes place on the child’s own initiative. Ability to choose activities that are interesting to the child, learn through personal experience.

We put the pupil at the heart of everything we do, making sure we know the strengths and areas for development for each Russellian. Ensuring that our most able pupils are intellectually stretched is at the core of what we do. This is achieved through our academic extension programme which ensures pupils are set extension tasks is appropriate subjects, receive mentoring, access seminars and lectures in their subjects of interest, and participate in national and international competitions.
We aim to assist those pupils who require additional support in order to reach their maximum potential. The team also support parents and subject teachers with additional guidance and strategies when required.
Academic ambition and our focus on each individual’s talents and strengths ensure success at each stage of our pupil’s learning journey. Every member of our outstanding teaching staff is passionate about providing the best possible educational experience for every student. Our pupils are encouraged, nurtured and, where necessary, driven to reach their full potential and achieve their goals and our excellent public examination results reinforce the success of each of our pupils.
We admit a carefully balanced community of pupils to the school, those who bring and share their many talents and skills, reinforcing our values and motto – ‘non sibi sed omnibus’ (Not for oneself but for all).
Through our tutor system and small class sizes, we know each student individually and can provide bespoke guidance and outstanding pastoral care. Parents are regularly informed of effort and attainment grades and the results of standardised assessments and aspirational targets are set, relative to each pupil’s ability in each subject.

Such interweaving encourages older pupils to be more creative and playful, to take into account the abilities and needs of the younger ones. For younger children, this method of education develops a sense of responsibility, encourages them to acquire new skills, and learn cooperation, teamwork with people of different ages, interests and intelligence.
