Teacher and pupil in discussion

• Ruthin School is committed to providing an education of the highest quality, endeavouring to develop the potential of all pupils, in all spheres of education.
• The pupils develop self confidence through recognising and building upon their strengths as well as identifying and striving to improve their weaknesses.
• They are thus prepared to face the challenges of the changing world beyond school.
• Overriding everything is our belief that individual attention leads to higher individual performances.

Inspection Report Comments

 "...The school is characterised by various worthwhile features. These include a most supportive environment, high quality teaching and learning in a range of departments and an approach that allows the majority of pupils to achieve standards that are at least commensurate with what might be expected of them..."

"...Two strengths of the school are its small size and its friendliness. A sound pastoral and support system is in place that incorporates excellent careers support and guidance..."

• Ruthin School is committed to developing opportunities for pupils and students to experience beyond the classroom. Many will make the most of these and develop skills in a range of areas. In a small School all will be called upon to contribute and many are perhaps a little apprehensive initially but gain a great deal from participating (see Pupil profiles).
• The skills developed stand the pupils and students in good stead for the future, increasing their self-confidence and help towards providing a rounded and enriching education. Facing a climbing wall for the first time can be a little daunting, but helps to develop many valuable skills and teaches the pupil a great deal about themselves.
• Many of the opportunities are pursued beyond school and certainly contribute much to the pupil and their self-esteem and help considerably in applications for work as their CV's are often very impressive.
• We hope that this section will give you a flavour of some of the opportunities available at the School.
