Rossall Summer School
embodies the same high standards as our year round programme. Students follow an intensive English language programme to develop the skills they need to communicate effectively and for those considering studying in the UK there is also the option of studying a choice of academic subjects to develop technical knowledge and vocabulary.
Small classes are run by Rossall's own full-time staff and you will receive a full academic report and certificate of attendance. This is an ideal preparation for UK boarding schools.
There is also a daily programme of sports using Rossall's superb facilities, as well as cultural and social activities on and off campus. Plus - a full recreational programme that includes a wide variety of activities and sports on the campus, as well as weekly excursions to different cities and attractions in the North of England.

A Word from the Head
This must be the healthiest school in Britain! The sea air banishes asthma and eczema and hay fever, and promotes complexions of which French beauticians would be envious. And, of course, as they say, the children are worth it.
.
After forty years in the boarding business it still thrills me to meet the young people we look after. I walk about the school a lot, because the great joy of boarding schools is the chance to see the whole child: the hopeless mathematician who is wonderful at rounders, the feeble rugger player who is brilliant on the saxophone, the flawless actor who doesn’t understand Physics, the girl who can sing and dance but can’t spell, the undistinguished academic who is an absolutely vital agony-aunt for her year group, and the range of characters and nationalities who fill the days with surprise and excitement.
The best is only just good enough for our children, said a famous Victorian Headmaster, and the best is what we seek to offer. Rossall is a broad church: it has some of the cleverest pupils I have ever met, and some whose achievement of six good GCSE passes is a real triumph. But above all it is a community. The richness of a good community is an enormous gift to a growing child. Join it and see for yourself!
