About The Sydney Russell School
An ‘Outstanding’ School
Leaders’ focus on improving teaching is relentless. Staff are managed so that they are constantly supported, encouraged and challenged to be better teachers – Ofsted 2013
As part of Sydney Russell’s continued growth we are seeking new ambitious teachers to join our team both on our Primary & Secondary School sites.
Sydney Russell School has benefitted from substantial capital investment since the school’s formation. It has excellent accommodation: In the Secondary school teaching rooms are arranged as departmental suites. There is a very large, beautifully-appointed Library/Resource Centre; all of the rooms in our newest two blocks are air-conditioned; a superb Leisure Centre has been built for the school to use during the day and the community in the evenings and at weekends. The Primary School is currently expanding with renovation work underway. The school is a 3 form entry Primary and will continue to grow over the next few years.
Ethos
The ethos at Sydney Russell in one of traditional values. We take a very firm line on discipline, uniform and good manners. We have moved decisively away from any mixed-ability teaching groups: all classes are in three broad ability bands, with some departments, such as Science and Maths using additional finer setting. On discipline, we have a centrally-organised reward and relocation scheme and school detention to take the strain off individual members of staff as well as behaviour modification groups in to take any particularly challenging students out of mainstream classes. Generous additional funding, through Excellence in Cities and other specific grants, has enabled us to provide further extensive targeted support in the form of Learning Mentors, a Learning Support Unit and additional support assistants.
