Catering to both UK and international students, Rugby offers a diverse and dynamic community where inclusivity, kindness, authenticity, courage, and curiosity are central to school life.

Academic Excellence

Rugby's "Whole Person, Whole Point" philosophy emphasises holistic student development, making the IB Diploma a natural fit. With a broad range of subjects, the IB offers students the flexibility to tailor their academic experience. Supported by Rugby's "Futures" team, students can explore higher education opportunities globally, with graduates gaining admission to prestigious universities such as Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge.

Co-curricular and Sports

Rugby offers an extensive range of clubs, societies, and sports to complement academic studies. Traditional sports like rugby, netball, and hockey are offered alongside niche activities such as fencing, polo, and fives. Rugby also boasts a vibrant arts scene with robust music and theatre programmes. Students can participate in productions and concerts throughout the year, nurturing creativity alongside academic success.

Service and Leadership

The school is committed to fostering a service mindset, integral to the IB's Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) programme. Through the Rugby 360 initiative, students work with local schools and engage in community projects, developing a global perspective while contributing to local communities.

Boarding and Pastoral Care

As a full-boarding school, Rugby provides exceptional pastoral care. Every student is supported by a personal tutor who ensures their academic and personal growth, creating a nurturing environment that prepares them for life beyond school.
