The independent co-educational preparatory school educates boys and girls from 2-11 years of age and has an average roll of 200 pupils.
The school, which in June was awarded the top rating of EXCELLENT by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, aims to provide an inspirational education in a happy family atmosphere.
With a curriculum stretching well beyond the boundaries of the National Curriculum, Russell House pupils are encouraged to join in and aim high from an early age.
It is described by a parent as follows: “An exceptionally warm and friendly school, Russell House encourages individual achievements as well as developing an outstanding ethos of kindness, confidence and success.”
The school provides its pupils with a broad-based education which is accompanied by an abundance of extra-curricular activities. Competitive sport is an integral part of daily life, delivered by specialist coaches throughout the school. In addition, there are many after-school sporting activities including Saturday tennis.
Pupils experience a wide range of sports including football, hockey, rugby, netball, cricket, athletics, cross country running, swimming and tennis.
hey are given opportunities to develop their skills and warmly encouraged to be the best they can be. The aim is for all children to develop an enthusiasm for sport that will be carried with them into healthy, active lifestyles long into the future. The children’s performance and achievements in sport are outstanding, with impressive successes recently in football, gymnastics, cross country, judo and tennis, and teams competing at regional and national levels.
A family school with a very special atmosphere, Russell House is the perfect size for staff to genuinely get to know children as individuals and offer tailored opportunities to become self-reliant, self-aware and achieve the very best according to their gifts.
