“We believe in every student being given the opportunity to achieve their potential…and to exceed it.”

Iain Green, Headteacher

Welcome to Rugby Free Secondary

School

We are at the start of a very exciting journey and have worked extremely hard over the last year to create a culture of high expectations across the school, supported every step of the way by our Trust.

An ambitious culture has been achieved through the development of strong and positive relationships with staff, students, parents and carers. Our reflective approach means we are always striving to improve in all that we do and believe that mistakes are only an opportunity to learn. 

Students from over 30 primary schools join the RFSS family each year from across Warwickshire, all of whom bring their own set of experiences from their previous school community. Therefore, we invest heavily in pastoral support to ensure all students can establish positive relationships with their peers, and very quickly feel part of the RFSS family.

As a parent, I know that the happiness of our children, alongside success – be it sporting, academic or creative – is our top priority. Our aim is for all students to have the capacity to achieve their full potential and for our curriculum to nurture and develop each child’s hidden talents throughout their time at RFSS. We have designed an ambitious and forward-thinking curriculum which supports and challenges everyone in the school community to achieve incredible outcomes, success and happiness in both the short and long term.

Taking a holistic approach, we identify the barriers to learning that are likely to affect our students, and work relentlessly to address them. Our approach supports academic success, and promotes the development of strong character in our students, which means that when they leave RFSS, they will have the personal attributes to live happy and heathy lives, with the ability to overcome whatever life throws at them.

Working at RFSS

“You won’t find teachers and staff anywhere else who are as committed to a schools vision.”



It is an exciting time to be working as part of the RFSS family, and as part of our trust Triumph Learning Trust. RFSS opened in 2016 and we relocated to our brand-new purpose-built facility in February 2020. 

Our school is committed to providing success for all of its students, and providing a workplace that supports its staff, to ensure they are able to work to the best of their ability for our students every day.

You won’t find teachers and staff anywhere else who are as committed to a school’s purpose and supporting its success. Relationships are at the heart of RFSS and underpin our new core values.... and we are always looking for dedicated staff who share our ethos and demonstrate our values. 

The wellbeing of staff is a priority here at RFSS and we have developed a wellbeing commitment for all staff. This is monitored by our Wellbeing group and regularly reviewed with all staff. 

Staff Wellbeing Commitment at RFSS 

At RFSS the senior leadership and Trust Board are committed to protecting and preserving positive staff wellbeing. RFSS is a people-centred school that places relationships at the core of its culture and ethos.
