Facilities
Pre-Prep
The Pre-Prep classes are busy and fun, providing the best possible start for your child's education. Children join Russell Robins at the age of 2 and progress through Nursery, Transition and Form 1, before moving into the Main School.These years are very important in children's development as core skills and attitudes to learning are established that will take children on to success in the future. Key to the approach in the Pre-Prep is not just what they teach, but how they teach it. Activities are underpinned by solid educational principles and rigour to provide a clear progression of skill and knowledge development. In addition, the teaching methods incorporate key characteristics of effective learning: play and exploring, active learning and creating and thinking critically.
Main School
Children enjoy a broad-based academic curriculum in the Main School and an abundance of extra-curricular activities. By encouraging children to join in and aim high from an early age, they see exceptional levels of achievement in every aspect of school life. They promote excellence and achievement of each child within an inclusive environment, where every child participates in the whole curriculum. Recognising that children develop at different speeds, they make creative use of the timetable and our staff to support and extend individuals and ability groups.The success of our approach is plain to see in our track record for the 11-plus exam and in independent school entry examinations at 11, when children regularly attain academic, music and sports scholarships.
