All applications for admissions to Year 7 for September 2021 need to be made through the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham admissions service. To find out more please go to Admissions Page.

As you may be aware, the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham has cancelled all opening evenings due to the ongoing pandemic. As a result, we are not able to offer tours of the school.

At Sydney Russell, we understand the importance of the decision parents are about to make for their children. We also understand that parents are looking for more information on schools so they can make an informed choice.

To support parents to do this, we are currently making a video introducing our school and showcasing our facilities. Watch our Promotional Video

We would also encourage parents to read our Prospectus and our Ofsted Report.

If your child is offered a place at our school, we will look to hold induction meetings in the summer term to begin the transition process. It will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions about how the school operates.
