After qualifying for the Tameside School Sports Partnership finals, our tag rugby team headed to Aldwinians’ Rugby Club filed to pit our wits against the best schools in Tameside. 
With some super rugby skills and great teamwork, our team topped our group and then was placed in a 3 way play off for the championships.
We were outstanding in both games, unfortunately just being pipped to the title. Another great effort from our players. Well Done!
What an incredible year we have had at Russell Scott Primary having had to endure the last 2 years of Covid restrictions and to come back the way you have is nothing short of miraculous.
Six major Tameside titles, two football titles and all gained with the positive attitude and respect we always show…. SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
The Quadkids Athletics competitions are always a favourite in the sporting calendar and this year Russell Scott entered both a year 5/6 & a 3/4 team to compete at East Cheshire Harriers.
Our Year 5/6 team consisting of 5 girls and 5 boys were unbelievable, pushing themselves to the limit to record some incredible scores. This magic rubbed off on the year 3/4 team who went on to produce some fantastic results.
It was a tense couple of days waiting for the results to arrive and we were thrilled to find that both teams had become Tameside Quadkids Athletics Champions 2022!
On an extremely hot day, our Year 4 boys football team were invited along to the Manchester United Carrington Training Complex to compete against the best 16 teams in Manchester having qualified by winning our group stage early on in the year.
With some very good teams on display our boys worked so hard to make it through to the final in which we proved to strong for our opponents winning 3-1 to lift the cup and become Year4 MUFC Power Play Champions
The Lancashire Dynamos cricket competition took place at Dukinfield cricket club . This was an excellent tournament with our team going through to the finals & with some very impressive bowling, batting & fielding, proved too strong for our rivals .
We took the title and become Tameside SSP cricket champions… Outstanding performance!
Fun times were had by all who took part in the Brownlee Foundation Triathlon completing a 50m swim, 800m cycle & a 300m run everyone giving maximum effort. Well done to everyone who competed.
It’s not everyday you witness someone you know walking out at Old Trafford as Captain of Manchester United, but at Russell Scott many of our parents and children also a few teachers did just that. On the 11th May 2022 our very own Rhys Bennett led out the Man Utd under 18s team in the FA Youth Cup Final against Nottingham Forest.
What a night it was. Not satisfied with just captaining the side, Rhys scored the opening goal in front of 67,492 fans, a boyhood dream achieved I expect. The team went on to win the match 3-1 with Rhys lifting the trophy. The first time United have won the trophy since 2011 in front of the Old Trafford faithful, including Sir Alex Ferguson.
The very next day we were overwhelmed when Rhys popped into school complete with the trophy to spend some time with the children and teachers and talk about his unbelievable night.
We are so proud of Rhys at Russell Scott, It just proves if you put your mind to something and work hard, you can achieve anything! #HESONEOFOUROWN
Ourboys team, having qualified to represent Greater Manchester in the ESFA National Cup ; we travelled up to Sunderland to commence battle with what the North of England had to offer. 
The boys were incredible and qualified for the semi finals as group winners. In what was a very tense affair the team were held to a 0-0 draw. Then took part in a dreaded penalty shoot out . Eventually bowing out of the competition without conceding a goal in open play.
Our team qualified for the Volleyball finals at Fairfield High School.
The team was absolutely outstanding ,not losing a game and playing with great camaraderie to clinch the title and become Tameside SSP Champions!
Having had no competitions due to the pandemic, our indoor athletics team were really looking forward to defending our title in a slightly different format of the competition than we were used to. Our athletics team had been putting in some extra training and it really showed with some outstanding performances in both the field and track events. After a nervous 24 hour wait it was finally announced that Russell Scott were once again Tameside Indoor Athletics Champions for an amazing 8 consecutive years. Absolutely Phenomenal!
We then went on to the Greater Manchester Athletics Competition to compete against the 20 best teams from around the Manchester region. After another outstanding performance from everyone, our team finished a superb 6th place. Well done to every one of our athletes—You’re all amazing!
