The School Founded in 1844 as a Church of England foundation. Built as a school for the purpose of giving a sound education for the sons of clergy and lay people. The school’s original ivy-clad historic buildings are clustered around a collegiate-style quadrangle with the Sumner Library at its centre. Access to The Square is via one of Rossall’s most distinctive architectural features, The Archway. Some new buildings were added to the solid Victorian buildings in the 1970s. There is a good range of sports and games and a high level of attainment. There are many opportunities for outdoor pursuits, with emphasis on self-reliance and practical skills. CCF contingent is the most senior; The Duke of Edinburgh scheme is well supported. Music is strong and Drama is well supported. |
