What the school offers its staff
At Rugby High School we are committed to language learning. All students study either French or Spanish through KS3, with a good number opting to study both during Year 9. The majority of students go on to take either French or Spanish, or both at GCSE with excellent results. While groups are smaller at A level, French and Spanish are still popular options. The department is one of incredibly high standards and some of the best A-Level Results in the school. We pride ourselves on delivering challenging and engaging lessons where students thrive. Each year we run a residential visit to either France or Spain, supporting our commitment to broadening our students cultural experience. Our ethos aligns with the school vision, encouraging students to be life-long language learners who embrace their global citizenship.
Rugby High School is an 11-18 girls’ grammar school, which accepts boys into our popular Sixth Form. We offer a full induction program for all staff (including ECTs), extensive professional development opportunities and a rich menu of extra-curricular activities.
