RUSSELL SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our ambition is to increase bursary support by 50% for Senior School pupils from financially underprivileged backgrounds so that more can attend Royal Russell School on life-changing bursaries. Our aim is to raise £1,000,000 in donations toward this cause in a 5-year campaign timed to coincide with the School’s 175th Anniversary in 2028. We believe that this will provide lasting benefits not only for the bursary recipients themselves, but for the whole student body: increasing the social-economic diversity of our student body is a key part of our ethos and fundamental to providing a balanced, grounded, and positive education for all our children.
The Russell School Development Foundation has been created to help the school meet its bursary goal by providing a conduit for the continued generosity and philanthropy of the Royal Russell community of parents, former pupils, and friends. With the help of our supporters, we believe we can change the lives of young people forever by offering them the best gift of all: an outstanding Royal Russell School education.
