About Rugby Free Secondary School
Welcome to Rugby Free Secondary School! RFSS opened in 2016 and moved into a brand-new purpose-built facility in 2019.
A new headteacher Samirah Roberts joined the school in 2019 following a difficult Ofsted inspection, however we are extremely proud to say that following our most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2021, RFSS is now officially a ‘Good’ school - only the third school in the country to make this transition from inadequate across all areas! Whilst we are proud of this achievement, particularly during a pandemic! We are continually looking to evolve and develop, and this year opened the doors to our brand-new Sixth Form!
This school is committed to providing success for all its students and providing a workplace that supports its staff to ensure they can work to the best of their ability for our students every day. In recent times, we have worked hard to ensure relationships for learning are at the centre of our school, whilst also redesigning the curriculum and striving for consistently high-quality and teaching and learning.
Our core values of kindness, curiosity, collaboration, respect, resilience, and endeavour underpin everything that we do, and make us what we are. Both staff and students communicate with each other using these values, and these are also shared with our community, who also are integral to our school’s progress.
