Admissions
At Rugby Free Secondary School, we recognise the importance of a smooth, positive transition from primary school to secondary school.
We understand that this may be a stressful time for both students and parents. Therefore we work very closely with students, parents and our feeder primary schools to ensure that the process is as stress free as possible. Deciding where to send your child to secondary school is a huge decision and one which must be taken early on.
We ensure that the
transition process
is as stress free as
possible.
Why don't you come and visit us?
In order to help you make the decision on whether RFSS is the right school for your child, we invite you to join up for our Open Evening held at the beginning of each academic year.
During the Open Evening you will have the chance to meet the leadership team, teaching staff, support staff and discuss all aspects of school life. You can visit our excellent facilities and see examples of students work as each department showcases what they have on offer. There will also be the opportunity to hear directly from the Headteacher during one of the talks held throughout the evening.
Please keep an eye on our website and social media pages for dates, times and links to book in for the evening. If you would like to see the school but can't wait until one of our Open Evenings then you can watch our virtual tour, the video for which is shown below.
