<p>Independent secondary schools have recently issued an impressive tally of no less than twelve Scholarships to Russell House Form 7 pupils. Each of the twelve Scholarships is an outstanding achievement, both as a testament to the resilience of the pupil who worked so diligently over the difficult circumstances of the past two years and as a success for the school in receiving such an impressive array of Scholarships.</p>

<p>Russell House Headmaster, Mr Craig McCarthy, said: &ldquo;I am immensely proud of all the children who have worked so hard and I take this opportunity to congratulate our pupils and their families on this shining success. I also congratulate our team of teachers, led by Mrs Gascoigne and Mrs Reay. I could not be more proud of everyone, at whatever stage they are involved, in preparing our pupils for the next stage of their education.&rdquo;</p>
