Job overview
Rugby Free Secondary School opened in 2016 and has just moved into a brand-new purpose-built facility. The road hasn’t been smooth but it is a school committed to providing success for all of its students and providing a workplace that supports its staff to ensure they are able to work to the best of their ability for our students every day . You won’t find teachers and staff anywhere else who are as committed to a school’s purpose and supporting its success.
We are currently graded as inadequate by Ofsted (May 2019) but on our first monitoring visit (December 2019) it was recognised just how much the school has improved in such a short space of time. Our aim is to be at least ‘good’ by July 2021.
We are keen to hear from aspirational practitioners to join our successful team and who are keen to develop into outstanding leaders. If you want to give your best everyday then we want to hear from you. We know that the key to helping our students achieve their individual best is high quality teaching. As a teacher you will have demonstrable experience of getting the most out of your students and as an aspiring middle leader you will have visible passion for supporting school wide initiatives to be excellent.
If you feel that you could bring further impetus to our drive to improve the provision for our students and have the necessary energy, enthusiasm and sense of humour to take us forward at this exciting time, then please get in touch.
To arrange a visit to school or an informal discussion with the Headteacher, please call Mrs Baljit Mander, the Headteacher’s PA on 01788 222060 or email baljit.mander@rugbyfreesecondary.co.uk

About Rugby Free Secondary School
Welcome to Rugby Free Secondary School
‘Pupils benefit from a school community that includes pupils from a wide range of different backgrounds and cultures. There is a culture in which pupils see these differences as a positive thing. Uniqueness is valued and celebrated. Pupils feel confident ‘to be themselves’ at Rugby Free Secondary School. (Ofsted ‘Good’: July 2021)’
At Rugby Free Secondary School, we aim to foster kindness and pride, whilst maximising our academic and personal potential. We believe that all of our students should be happy and safe, whilst demonstrating the limitless endeavour and resilience required to succeed by striving for excellence. To achieve these goals, our school ethos is underpinned by the foundations of mutual respect, positive relationships and genuine curiosity. This is encompassed in our educational philosophy of creating more articulate, organised and progressive learners, and the desire to create both independent and collaborative learners who are proud to be educated at Rugby Free Secondary School. Alongside this, we focus on broadening our students’ core subject knowledge and understanding of the wider world. As a consequence, quality-first Teaching and Learning is at the centre of our school’s ethos, and is the key priority for all staff. Our aim is for teachers to deliver high-quality lessons to all year groups, whilst also being supported to develop through pertinent and purposeful internal and external CPD that is bespoke. Learning is integral to everything we do at RFSS. We ensure that all of our students, regardless of gender, ethnicity or ability, receive the best possible learning experiences, to enable them to achieve and maximise their potential. Here at RFSS, we continually support students to develop a love of learning to help them become learners for life, in order to equip them with the knowledge and skills that they will need in the real-world. This is also the case with our teaching staff, who continuously develop and update their own pedagogical practices, through Action Research projects and other bespoke professional development sessions.
