Student Support: Year 8
​
Being in Year 8 at Rugby Free offers an exciting and pivotal time for students. At this stage, they are starting to feel more settled in their surroundings, allowing them to engage fully with both their academic subjects and the broader school community. This is where students can begin to excel across a variety of subjects and explore their growing interests with confidence.
Year 8 presents many opportunities for individual growth, not just in the classroom but also through extra-curricular activities and student leadership roles. Students are encouraged to join clubs, take part in sports, and participate in creative and leadership opportunities, fostering a well-rounded experience.
