Rugby School

Rugby School is an educational community whose philosophy embraces the challenges of academic excellence, spiritual awareness, responsibility and leadership, friendships and relationships and participation in a wide variety of activities.

Boys, girls and staff come to Rugby School from a wide range of backgrounds and from home and abroad. The staff, collectively, have very considerable experience and wisdom. The boys and girls have vast potential. All have curiosity and ability.

Whilst we have collective aims, everyone is treated as an individual: all boys and girls are encouraged to develop their talents and gifts and to use initiative to achieve this.

As an individual everyone is part of a larger group – a year group in a House, the House itself, a class, a team, the School community and Rugby town. We wish all members of the School to think of others at least as much as they do of themselves, giving as well as receiving, including all, trusting others, being tolerant of those who have different views and habits, respecting all around as individuals and caring about them, and always being prepared to help when needed.

These are demanding expectations, but within the Rugby School community there is much support towards these ends; we believe that a friendly and happy atmosphere brings out the best in all of us and we shall endeavour to treat all in this way and in a spirit of co-operation and generosity.

Above all, members of the School should treat those around them as they themselves would like to be treated. Any unpleasantness directed at any member of the School or the wider community will not be tolerated.

The House system and House dining is a distinctive feature of the School. The House provides pupils with a ‘home from home’ in which to study and relax. Houses are run by a Housemaster or Housemistress (Hm), an Assistant Hm and a Matron who, in the case of Boarding Houses, all live in the House. Each pupil has a House Tutor who acts as an academic and pastoral mentor.

For further information on the Houses see the online Prospectus, in particular the sections on Pastoral Care, Daily Life and the Campus Map which is in fact a highly informative interactive resource.
