Rugby High School for Girls

The school website states: 'We recognise that for a student to be able to learn effectively she needs to feel safe and happy at school. Being one of the smaller secondary schools in Rugby is an advantage when it comes to knowing our students. Our pastoral team are there to help smooth the transition to secondary school and to support students and their families through the ups and downs of their life. The school feels like a large family. ​

We love learning and we want our students to love learning too. We specialise in providing an academic education for girls. One of the advantages of being a girls’ school is that there are no subliminal messages about subjects or careers. Your daughter is free to explore the whole curriculum and decide for herself. Our students get great results because they are focused and they want to learn.'

​

The school runs an extensive programme of lunchtime activities: sports clubs, musical ensembles, orchestra, choirs, board games, drama club, writing clubs, book groups, forensic club, language clubs, clubs associated with competitions e.g. magistrates’ court, bar trials and clubs that teach new skills e.g. knitting. Many clubs and lunchtime activities are run by older students for younger students.

Students were unanimous in saying that the range of trips and extra-curricular activities, particularly sport and trips abroad, were second to none.
