HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL The School was founded as a charity in 1853 fof Ihe education of children of neces51t¢)us war8hous8men and clerks. Lord John Russell consente(J lo be the first President of the new School and in 1863 Edward, Prince of Wales, laid the Foundalion stone of the Russell Hill SclKJoI. Pudey. The School was dependent upon subscriptions from Ihe Warehousemen and Clerks. but it was also supported by many irnportanl commercial firms.. Debenhams, Benlall, Cwrtauld, Marshall, Snelgrove. Le•WiS. Selfr￿ge$ and Sirnpson are just a few. The School at Purley flourished., however, post 1918 the demand for further places from war orphans led lo the purchase of the Ballards Es(ale in Addiroton. In a truly magnanimou5 9eslure Mr Hollingsworth lof Bourne & Hollingsworth), made a deed of gift of the whde of the purchase price of £21.000. Work on the new School started in 1923 and the School was fomially opened by HRH Edward. Prince ofwales. in 1924. During Ihe interwar years both schools continued to build on the foundations laid down in the pa51,. however, increasiThJ cosl per head and lack of reserves wer8 an increasing concem. The depression of the 1930s and the Second World War aggravated the situation still further. Post war social change, part￿￿larlY the coming of the Welfare Slate, made il increasingly difficult lo raise money for falling numbers of orphans and needy children. The schools went through a drfiojll transition period which ended with the sale of Ihe sile at Russell Hill and the concentration of both primary arKI secondary edtsCal￿n on the Ballards site. The new facililies were formally opened in 1962 by Lord Hollenden. the then President of the School and. the following year, Ihe School was honoured by a visit from the Queen when the School officially became Royal Russell School. In 1973, in financial diffujllies, the decision wa5 made to dose the School. but parents and staff of the School sel up a campaign lo fight for the School. This resulted in the fomiation of a new Educational Charity which W8S able to lease the premises from the Trust and eventually purchase the freehold in 1992. Slowly, the new charity lumed around Ihe fortunes of the Schod and in 2003 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the School's Patron, visited the School to mark its Se$qU￿n1enary. her fourth visit lo the School. In December 2010 the School was de1￿Jhted to welcome her son, the Earl of Wessex. lo open the Performing Arts Cenlre.

Al bursaries are means tested and the emphasis remains on bursaries for new pupils joining the Senior School. Bursaries are awarded lo help ensure children from families who would olhewse not be able lo afford the fees can access the education we offer. Our bursary awards are available lo all who meet our entry requirements and are made solely based on parental means. or to relieve hardship whwe a pupil's eduealion and prospects would otherwise be al risk, for example in the case of pa￿ntaI illness or redundaw. The bursary awards range in value and are means lesled. In assessing means we take several factors into cOns￿eratIon, including family income, investments arKJ savings, and family cIr￿mstances. The School has no endowment funds, and all bursaries are hjnded by redirecting fee income. We have, therefore, lo be mindful that we ensure a balance betsveen fee paying parents. many of whom make a considerable personal sacrifu lo fund their child's education, and those benefiting from the awards.

Previously, Govemors were mindful of the effect of a pandemic on the School. with Ihis noted in Ihe Risk Register and managed accordingly as the CovKI-19 Pandern￿ hil Ihe wodd. As a result of the pandemic, the School was able to miligale the financial impact by ta￿n9 advantage of the Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ICJRS} whilst minimising any unnecessary expen¢Yilure. Historically, Ihe view of Govemors was. and remains that the main risk to the Schod is ffinan￿al in nature and would primarly ocujr due lo a Page 12 of 36 RUSSELL SCHOOL TRUST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 decrease in the pupil roll. e$peciaMy in the boarding community- Hcwever, for exh of the major risks that have been identified. the probability of an 0￿urrenCe has been assessed as low.
