Rutland and District Schools’ Federation, comprises of Catmose College, Catmose Primary and Harington School.
The College caters for 900 students in a purpose-built and fully equipped building. We are proud that it runs on an ethos of trust and mutual respect; no rooms are locked in order to enable all students to make the most of the facilities on offer. However, I believe that great schools are not made by the buildings they occupy, but by the people who work within them.
Our students are hardworking and talented; their contributions make our College truly exceptional. We offer an extensive curriculum both inside and outside the classroom to ensure that every student can develop their existing strengths as well as discover new ones. Our academic courses are complemented and enhanced by an ‘electives’ programme which encompasses the creative arts, sport, music and drama, with many further opportunities also available in our flourishing extra-curriculum programme.
The Primary School offers a Creative Curriculum which encapsulates the way in which we work. It is designed to be Individual, Innovative and Inspiring, our 3Is. We treat our children as individuals, we inspire them to learn and we want them to be innovative and enjoy their learning journey.
Harington School is a free school that opened its doors on the Catmose Campus in Oakham in September 2015, providing a rigorous A-level academic education focusing on the core subjects. The School offers a curriculum designed to develop individual and academic potential, leading the way to the most prestigious universities. Harington caters for 300 students (150 in Year 12 and 150 in Year 13).
The Federation follows a holistic approach, treating staff and students as individuals and valuing every member of the Federation equally. For example, staff do not go to the front of queues, but instead join at the back in order to demonstrate the behaviour we wish to see in our students. It is this principle of ‘equal value’ that underpins the calm, purposeful and happy atmosphere that we all enjoy.
Staff across the Federation take great pride in being part of such a positive working environment, all working towards the same goal: to give our students every opportunity to achieve the very best and have positive and educational experiences that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
We are committed to providing all staff with opportunities for professional development, recognising that individual training and development should enable staff to progress and enhance their careers.
