Whether they want to or not, everyone remembers their school days.
The Rossallian Club was set up in 1894 to help Old Rossallians maintain links with the School, to continue the friendships to help ORs in need and to provide extra facilities for Rossall School. Members of the club, of which there are 6,000 world-wide, are presented in all walks of life and this thriving club’s events are well supported.
The Rossallian Club is managed separately and is self-supporting from the School but has offices within the School campus.
Life membership of the Rossallian Club costs £240.00 and is paid in six instalments usually beginning when you reach Year 10 or Year 12 if you join the School at Sixth Form. There is no other payment due at any time after this.
