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.
Why don't you come and visit us?

We ensure that the
transition process
is as stress free as
possible.

In order to help you make the decision whether RFSS is right for you, we invite all parents of, and students in, Year 6 to visit us for our Open Evening, held at the beginning of each academic year. During our Open Evening you will have the chance to meet the leadership team, teaching staff and support staff, and discuss aspects of school life which interest you. You can visit our excellent facilities and see examples of students’ work. If you would like to arrange a viewing of the school or have any questions regarding RFSS, please do get in touch with us.
