We welcome applications from teachers at all stages in their career including those returning to teaching and ECTs. We offer a full induction programme, extensive professional development opportunities and a rich menu of extra-curricular activities.

Over the past 4 years Rugby High School has been as challenged as any school, but the mutual care, kindness and respect we show each other as colleagues, and our students have ensured that it has remained a warm, welcoming and supportive place to work. Our students have been amazing throughout, and we would be very pleased to welcome a new colleague who wanted to nurture the curiosity and joy of learning in our whole school community.
