The Sydney Russell Primary school newsletter is a fantastic way to stay in touch with current events and procedures within our school. You will find up to date information in regards to all types of curriculum and school based information. The first edition will concentrate on the main procedures and new rules set out within the government and school administration guidelines.
With a new academic year comes new responsibilities for both school and parents. All students in reception, year 1 and year 2 are entitled to a free school meal. Children at key stage 2 (years 3-6) are only entitled to receive free school meals based on free school meal eligibility.

At the start of the school day there is a designated line for each class where the students line up ready for the class teacher to accompany the children into the school building. At the end of the school day the class teacher will bring the class to the outside designated area.Parents or carers must get acknowledgement from the teacher before the child leaves the premises.
Whilst on the school premises please stay with your child until they meet with the class teacher. You will have time to talk to your class teacher before or after school.
The class teacher is unable to allow a child to walk home alone orto be collected by an unauthorised person. The class teacher and the school receptionist need to be informed in person if your child is to be collected by someone else.
School uniforms can be purchased from Sydney Russell Secondary school on a Wednesday between 3 and 4pm. They can also be ordered online and picked up from the secondary school during this time.
