At The Russell School, we strive to ensure that our children have high aspirations and strong self-belief, to realise that anything is possible if they put their mind to it.

At The Russell School, we hold children at our very heart. We have a clear and cohesive vision which supports the development of exceptional relationships within our inclusive school community and creates a strong sense of belonging to our Russell School family. 

We help our children to recognise their worth and to value their place in the world. We consistently focus on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing our children’s mental and physical health through our strong system of school values, our innovative curriculum and our deep understanding of the value of mindfulness.

When children leave The Russell School, they do so with the skills, knowledge and emotional understanding to be able to play an active role in today’s global society. We strive to ensure that our children understand themselves, have high aspirations and a strong sense of self-belief, and realise that anything is possible if they put their mind to it.

Our children:

● develop confidence in sharing their own emotions, thoughts and opinions with others

● develop the knowledge, skills and attributes to keep themselves mentally and physically healthy and safe

● develop the attitude of a responsible and independent global citizen

● show tolerance of and respect for people of all abilities, beliefs, religions and life choices within our diverse society

● play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and our wider community

● build positive and respectful relationships with other people throughout their lives
