Rutlish School

General information

Modeste Strenue Sancte
(Be Modest, Be Thorough And Pursue Righteousness)

Rutlish School is committed to providing the best possible education and opportunities for all our students irrespective of religion, race, culture or class or sexual orientation.

Rutlish is equipped to offer 21st century facilities to support our students’ education.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum designed to meet the needs, interests and abilities of all our students.

We have high and challenging expectations of our students and place raising their achievement at the heart of our educational aspirations.

We aim to create an environment where students and staff behave responsibly and contribute fully as they develop a clear sense of belonging to the school community.

We are committed to educating the whole person and helping our pupils to understand the importance of responsibility, compassion, competition, fairness and honesty in all that they do.

Teaching students the skills of self-discipline, co-operation, respect and tolerance are essential as without these skills our academic objectives cannot be reached.

We seek to provide an environment for learning which is safe and secure, including preventing all forms of bullying, and recognise that education is very much a partnership between pupil, school and family.

We expect students to respect the local community surrounding the school and to act as positive ambassadors for the school when off school premises to build and maintain positive relationships with our neighbours.
Good behaviour is supported, praised and rewarded and promoted through active development of pupils’ social, emotional and behavioural skills.

Poor behaviour is unacceptable as it blights the learning of other pupils and makes the teaching job harder and less enjoyable.
Sanctions are applied consistently, proportionately and reasonably, taking account of SEN, disability and the needs of vulnerable children and offering support as appropriate.
Behaviour management is the responsibility of the whole school community.
