In their own words

I am delighted that you have expressed an interest in joining Royal Russell School. 

Royal Russell is different by design.  We are a family school which means we value the things which make each of us distinctively brilliant.  Royal Russell’s school motto is ‘non sibi sed omnibus’ which translates as ‘not for oneself, but for all’.  Our commitment to each other is to help every member of our community strive for their vision of success.  Our happy, vibrant and ambitious community provides our pupils with an exceptional educational experience; with the pupil right at the heart. 


We are proud of the breadth and depth of what we offer at Royal Russell and our 110-acre campus is full of incredible facilities to inspire learning and personal growth; from our cutting-edge science facilities, our beautiful library, extensive sporting facilities, Chapel, Great Hall, spacious dining facilities, Performing Arts Centre and beautiful Day Houses. 


Bespoke educational pathways mean we can support your child to realise their vision of success, supported by expert tutors, teachers, coaches and pastoral teams.  We believe in a total education - encouraging pupils to extend their learning beyond the curriculum through enrichment activities and cultural experiences.  Learning together in an open community that reflects the real world and celebrates both individual and collective achievements. 


I look forward to welcoming you.
