At Rugby High School, we set heights in our heart. While striving for excellence for all, in all its forms, our aim as a school is to encourage our students to be ambitious and creative thinkers, to face challenges, to work together, to learn to apply and adapt their knowledge and understanding so that they are prepared and excited for the future, whatever it may bring.
Our aspiration is that all our students understand what it is to show compassion and empathy and to take responsibility as brave, independent global citizens. Our students will move on from Rugby High School knowing how to be Resilient, Healthy and Successful.
Inspired by their curiosity and love for learning our students will leave us with a confident voice, ready to take their place, knowing that their actions have the potential to change the world.

Governing body (19 current, 1 former)
iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.15 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).
