We’re pleased to announce that we have switched to an online payment service for you to pay for your child’s school dinner. Using a secure website called ParentPay you will be able to make payments to school online using your credit or debit card.

Everyone will benefit from our new payment facility. ParentPay is easy-to-use and offers you the freedom to make online payments whenever and wherever you like, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - safe in the knowledge that the technology used is of the highest internet security available and that funds will reach school safely.

With ParentPay, parents have their own secure online account, activated using a unique username and password; making a payment using your credit or debit card is straightforward and ParentPay holds an electronic record of all payments for you to view at a later date. When you make a payment, an email confirmation is sent to you, giving you the reassurance that the transaction has been successful. 

By using ParentPay you help us reduce workloads for our staff, creating more time to lend to educational support and the smooth running of the school. It also ensures that all money transactions are safe and secure.

A Personal Message from the Headteacher

Modern Methods - Traditional Values

At Sydney Russell School we uphold the traditional values of strong discipline, school uniform and a demanding classroom ethos. At the same time we are totally committed to the best use of 21st century computer technology to help teaching and learning. Our first priority is the development of every child's academic potential to the fullest.

As Head teacher, I want for the children at Sydney Russell exactly what I would want for my own son or daughter: a school which is going to demand the very best that they are capable of achieving and where they will be happy and secure. Learning can be difficult and challenging at times, and it is the school's job, with the support of parents, to keep the pressure on and maintain motivation.

I believe in firm discipline: without good order in the classroom teachers cannot teach and students cannot learn. I will not tolerate any student who wants to stop others from learning. I expect students to take a pride in belonging to their school by wearing correct school uniform and wearing it smartly and properly.

I also expect students to get involved in the wider life of the school: to join clubs, get involved in sports teams, take part in school productions. In short, to take advantage of all the opportunities that an exciting school like Sydney Russell offers.

This website will give you a flavour of our school, but to really understand what we are about you need to see us at work. Please take advantage of the opportunity to do so, either during one of our Open Days or by contacting the school to arrange a visit at another time. I look forward to meeting you personally and welcoming you to Sydney Russell.

Roger Leighton, BA Headteacher
