There are nine Boarding Houses at Rossall – three girls houses, five boys houses and one mixed house each housing a combination of boarders and day pupils. 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.
A House Computer with internet access is currently provided in each House common room. The School now operates a secure wireless network. Pupils wishing to connect to the School's wireless network from their own computer / laptop, must get their machine configured by the School's I.T. department. This service is chargeable.
Individual study bedrooms are comfortable and well maintained with enough space for a wardrobe, drawers, bed, desk, and chairs 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.
