Our academic results are outstanding, with students consistently securing places at the top-ranking universities in the UK, and other students going on to prestigious universities abroad. Additionally, our renowned co-curricular programme offers more than 200 options and more than 28 sports with emphasis on both of excellence and participation.
Rugby's principal activity is the education and care of its students. Our primary objective is to develop rounded individuals who are also useful members of the community. All of our assets, income, and expenditure are directed to that purpose.
