Top of the
Lancashire League Table!
Rossall is top of the Lancashire
league tables published
for GCSE results for the academic year 2008/09. Headmaster Dr Stephen Winkley commented:
We are thrilled but not surprised
by our position in the GCSE league tables.
As a non-selective school with a
developing academic reputation
we are particularly gratified at
outperforming our local competitors
who include a number of prestigious
selective schools. Rossall children work
hard but they have lots of fun too.
In a school with a strong tradition of
high achievement and where it’s cool
to try hard you find that weaker
candidates are lifted by the performance
of those around them. And it helps,
of course, to have small classes
led by exceptionally talented and
hard-working teachers.
Well done to all pupils who sat
their GCSEs in summer!

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!
