Welcome! RUGBY HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY HIGH SCHOOL Life at Rugby High School is rich, varied and full of opportunities, with an engaging curriculum and teachers who are truly passionate about their subjects. Our aim as a school is to encourage our students to be ambitious and cre tive thinkers. Inspired by their curiosity and love for learning our students grow in con dence, gaining new experiences and realising that their actions have the potential to change the world. We have a packed events calendar with the whole school getting involved in charity dressing-up days, school plays and musical performances, sporting competitions, residential trips and celebration assemblies. Students work together in their forms, years and across the year groups, and we celebrate the diversity of our community. At Rugby H gh School we make the most of our sports facilities, drama studios, music centre, well-equipped science laboratories, computer science rooms, art, textiles and food technology block and our fantastic outdoor space with a tree-lined eld to enjoy on sunny lunchtimes.
Charity and fundraising are at the heart of Rugby High School with cake-baking competitions, book sales, non-uniform days, Pink Day Race for life and teacher karaoke. There are over 25 lunchtime clubs and societies from choir and drama to classics and rocket club and crochet. Our school teams compete in sports from netball, athletics and rounders to table tennis and trampolining.
My eyes not even open yet, I ing my bag over my shoulder and head out the door, a bolt of lightning lights up in me as I think about today’s exciting schedule. I wave at my friend as I walk through the gates, heading for form, heading for my friends, heading past the canteen, trying to guess what’s on the menu for break. It always smells delicious. Walking into the room, I put down my bag and head for the lockers. The familiar yellow lock and fading beige doors seem to greet me as I grab what I need for the day, hurrying back as my form tutor enters the classroom. I like to chat with my friends about homework as we race up the stairs but we always end up laughing about something or other as we turn towards the maths classroom and take our seats, white boards, and pens waiting patiently for us in the normal place. On the way to English, my friends remind me of our upcoming food tech tester session and I can hear my stomach rumble, apparently, we’re making cookies but we won’t nd out till next week. Break could not come sooner and I struggle to scan my ngerprint to buy just what I guessed this morning, cheesy garlic bread, probably the best item on the menu. Next, we have Latin and the usual question of “can we play Blooket™?”. Our teacher reminds us that we may if we have time but we must work hard as we answer the register with the usual “salve!”. For anybody considering this school, be warned, you’re going to wish you could never leave. It’s like a family here and everything is so diverse and accepting. Sure, there’s ups and downs but someone always has your back and no day is like the next. It couldn’t be more like home. Year 7 is a time that you will form new friendships, experience challenges that you will learn to RYHUFRPH DQG GHȴQLWHO\ D \HDU \RX will never forget. :KHQHYHU \RX ȴQG D VXEMHFW KDUG it is so easy to tell the teacher, they are really friendly and helpful. You and your form will go through everything together, as you will take all of your lessons with them. By Year 8 your friends will feel like sisters, as you know them so well. )_;;Ѵv |umbm] |o-u7v |_;bu 7;vঞm-ঞomĸ !;Y;1ঞom o= |u;;Ľv 0u-m1_;v u;-1_bm]ĸ $o-u7v l;ĺ m -u1_- Ѵbh; - 1-l;u- Ѵ;mvķ o1vbm] om |_; rb1|u; o= ou v1_ooѴĺ ";1om7v |o lbm|;v |o _ouvĸ -vv 0 v 1u;-ঞm]ĸ ;u=;1| 1bu1Ѵ;vĸ u-m b|_ 1olr-vv;vĸ m]Ѵ;v l;-vu;7 -m7 1-Ѵ1Ѵ-ঞomv voѴ;7ĺ mf;1ঞomv o= bmhĸ u-m =uol |_; bl-]bm-ঞomĸ = o|_;uvĸ m7 ouv;Ѵ=ĸ m-Ѵvbm] v1ubr|u;v -m7 bmvrbubm] ou omĺ oѴ7;m Y-l;v m=uѴbm] =u l l;|-Ѵĸ Ѵbm7;uvķ lbbm] -m7 1u;-ঞm]ĸ olrom7vĺ Ѵ-m| -m7 -mbl-Ѵ Ѵb=; bmvrbubm]ķ oѴѴobm] |_; Ѵ-v o= |_; m-| -Ѵ ouѴ7ĺ ou]o;m Ѵ-m]-]; 0ub;7 bm -v_;vĸ mom 0| mo| Ѵ;-um|ĸ ;-u7 o=ĸ | u-u;Ѵ |-]_|ĸ 1;r| _;u;ķ 1-u;=Ѵ b|_ ;;u v|;rĺ $_; Ѵbv| 1oѴ7 ]o omĸ -bm| 0uv_;v 7brr;7 b 1oѴouķ -v| 0;1olbm] ru;v;m|ĸ ;u=oul-m1;v Ѵ-1;7 b|_ 1omC7;m1; -m7 ru-1ঞv;ķ "|oub;v o= 0u;-h v_-u;7 b|_ =ub;m7vĺ !;vr;1| -rrbm;vv "lbѴ;vĺ A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A YEAR 7 RUGBY HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY HIGH SCHOOL ;;v mo| ;;m or;m ;|ķ Ybm] l 0-] o;u l v_oѴ7;u -m7 _;-7 o| |_; 7oouķ - 0oѴ| o= Ѵb]_|mbm] Ѵb]_|v r bm l; -v |_bmh -0o| |o7-Ľv ;1bঞm] v1_;7Ѵ;ĺ -; -| l =ub;m7 -v -Ѵh |_uo]_ |_; ]-|;vķ _;-7bm] =ou =oulķ _;-7bm] =ou l =ub;m7vķ _;-7bm] r-v| |_; 1-m|;;mķ |ubm] |o ];vv _-|Ľv om |_; l;m =ou 0u;-hĺ | -Ѵ-v vl;ѴѴv 7;Ѵb1bovĺ )-Ѵhbm] bm|o |_; uoolķ r| 7om l 0-] -m7 _;-7 =ou |_; Ѵo1h;uvĺ $_; =-lbѴb-u ;ѴѴo Ѵo1h -m7 =-7bm] 0;b]; 7oouv v;;l |o ]u;;| l; -v ]u-0 _-| m;;7 =ou |_; 7-ķ _uubm] 0-1h -v l =oul ||ou ;m|;uv |_; 1Ѵ-vvuoolĺ Ѵbh; |o 1_-| b|_ l =ub;m7v -0o| _ol;ouh -v ; u-1; r |_; v|-buv 0| ; -Ѵ-v ;m7 r Ѵ-]_bm] -0o| vol;|_bm] ou o|_;u -v ; |um |o-u7v |_; l-|_v 1Ѵ-vvuool -m7 |-h; ou v;-|vķ _b|; 0o-u7vķ -m7 r;mv -bঞm] r-ঞ;m|Ѵ =ou v bm |_; moul-Ѵ rѴ-1;ĺ m |_; - |o m]Ѵbv_ķ l =ub;m7v u;lbm7 l; o= ou r1olbm] =oo7 |;1_ |;v|;u v;vvbom -m7 1-m _;-u l v|ol-1_ ul0Ѵ;ķ -rr-u;m|Ѵķ ;Ľu; l-hbm] 1oohb;v 0| ; omĽ| Cm7 o| ঞѴѴ m;| ;;hĺ u;-h 1oѴ7 mo| 1ol; voom;u -m7 v|u]]Ѵ; |o v1-m l Cm];urubm| |o 0 fv| _-| ];vv;7 |_bv loumbm]ķ 1_;;v ]-uѴb1 0u;-7ķ ruo0-0Ѵ |_; 0;v| b|;l om |_; l;mĺ ;|ķ ; _-; -ঞm -m7 |_; v-Ѵ t;vঞom o= ľ1-m ; rѴ- Ѵ oh;|Ŀ ou |;-1_;u u;lbm7v v |_-| ; l- b= ; _-; ঞl; 0| ; lv| ouh _-u7 -v ; -mv;u |_; u;]bv|;u b|_ |_; v-Ѵ ľv-Ѵ;ĴĿ ou -m0o7 1omvb7;ubm] |_bv v1_ooѴķ 0; -um;7ķ oĽu; ]obm] |o bv_ o 1oѴ7 m;;u Ѵ;-;ĺ |Ľv Ѵbh; - =-lbѴ _;u; -m7 ;;u|_bm] bv vo 7b;uv; -m7 -11;rঞm]ĺ "u;ķ |_;u;Ľv rv -m7 7omv 0| vol;om; -Ѵ-v _-v ou 0-1h -m7 mo 7- bv Ѵbh; |_; m;|ĺ | 1oѴ7mĽ| 0; lou; Ѵbh; _ol;ĺ
