We are interested in Royal Russell school, possibly for 13+ entry. I have read old threads but I am wondering if any current or recent parents would be willing to share their impressions?
Child is age 10. They are average ability but a hard worker. Possibility of some SEND, so looking for good pastoral care and support. They are not sporty but do play a musical instrument, at about Grade 2 standard.
I have heard/seen something on here about behaviour, so I wondered if that is still an issue?
Their open day last year clashed with the open day of several other schools so I haven't been able to get there yet. They also have a slightly odd policy of not doing tours for those not in the year of entry!
Thanks.

This was amazing to hear from a parent who has gone through to sixth form. Sounds like Royal Russell is an amazing school. Absolutely love hearing about the experience with the head master because that’s how he comes across in the open days. Thank you so much for taking the time. It’s been very hard to find conversations and the time you took to comment back is very much appreciated as it’s a big decision. Thank you!!!
