"Excellent Experience"

We've been at The Russell School for a year now and the whole community is so welcoming. The school's emphasis on kindness and respect is really evident in the way the children treat each other. The facilities are also great, especially the outdoor play areas.

"Mixed Feelings"

We had a mixed experience at The Russell School - the nursery hours were great, but the communication between teachers and parents could sometimes be a bit lacking. Overall, it's a good school with some lovely staff, but not perfect.
