⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Congratulations to our Catering Team on a 5 star rating in their Food Hygiene Inspection Report. They've certainly impressed the Head Boy and Head Girl too, who've made special mention of the Catering Team in their farewell speeches, and rightly so! @RHHeadmaster

“Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the #courage to defend it.” - Pericles. Mr McCarthy's assembly focused on the principles of #democracy and we looked into the significance of #DDay80 and freedoms we enjoy in society today. @RHHeadmaster #thoughtprovoking

A past pupil visited us for assembly, speaking about the career of an MP at #Westminster and working within Laura Trott's team. The pupils had many questions for him and there was even time for a quick catch up with some of his past teachers! #success #inspiration @RHHeadmaster

Form 2 are sponsoring Tidal, a 15-metre-long humpback whale, through the Club Ocean programme. With 15 metres being too long to measure in the classroom, Form 2 headed outdoors, equipped with metre sticks. russellhouseschool.co.uk/new… @RHHeadmaster @EcoSchools #outdoorlearning #summer
