The pupils should feel a great sense of collective achievement – I hope that all pupils reflect on their hard work and look forward to the opportunities ahead.

These results reflect the work of our whole community and highlight not only outstanding value added, but also the additional care and breadth of opportunities that make Royal Russell such a successful school. They also reflect the expertise and dedication of the Royal Russell staff team, including all of the academic, administration, operations and support staff and, of course, the huge commitment of our Royal Russell parents and families.

As always, I am proud of our pupils. Whilst we rightly celebrate their academic qualifications, I am even more proud to see them embody the Russellian values of open, ambitious, courageous and distinctive as they contribute both to our community and the wider world.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025, their families and friends.

Chris Hutchinson, Headmaster
