Accommodation:  The Houses

There are nine Boarding Houses at Rossall – three girls houses and five boys houses each housing a combination of boarders and day pupils.  In addition there is one junior boarding house with separate accommodation for boys and girls whilst enjoying the fun of mixed day rooms. The majority of houses possess beautiful, Victorian architectural features, others are much more modern in design. A rolling programme of investment ensures that boarding facilities are constantly being improved and updated. Accommodation varies slightly but in all houses Rossallians progress from the fun of a shared room for the younger pupils to enjoying greater privacy as seniors.

Each Boarding House has its own character which is further defined by the pupils within it. All Boarding Houses have common rooms for relaxing and House gatherings and simple, safe cooking facilities for making drinks and snacks. 

Individual study bedrooms are comfortable and well maintained with enough space for a wardrobe, drawers, bed, desk, and chairs and a computer network point provided by the School. While the majority of the rooms are singles, some Houses also incorporate a few shared rooms. First priority for single bedrooms is given to Year 13 pupils in each House each year.
