One of England’s most-celebrated schools, Rugby School is the prototype for the English Public School model. Under the illustrious Thomas Arnold, who was headmaster of the school between 1828 and 1841, Rugby embodied the concept of muscular Christianity and came to define what an English Public School should be. With that came, also, the creation of a code of football which came to be the sport of the English Upper and Upper Middle classes – namely rugby football. Rugby, today, is an excellent fee-paying, co-educational boarding school which offers a university-preparatory education to pupils between the ages of 13 and 18. It’s associated preparatory school, Bilton Grange, completes the offer with an all-through education from the age of 3 with junior boarding as an option.
