The school day is very busy. This ensures that students are active and challenged. More importantly in the early stages of a student’s time at Rossall it allows you son/ daughter to meet lots of people and develop friendships fast. The structure of the day also gives students very strong direction from day to day, preventing them from getting bored lonely, or home sick.
Immediately after House Registration, at the start of each day, your son or daughter will attend the following whole school Tutor or House meetings before classes begin:
- Monday – Assembly
- Tuesday – Chapel
- Wednesday – Tutor time / Middle School Assembly
- Thursday – Congregational practice
- Friday – Lessons Begin Early at 8.40am
Extra—Curricular Activities
Committed to the value of extra-curricular activities as a part of every pupils’ education, Rossall offers a range of different activities including Sport, Music, Drama and Art. Every pupil is expected to undertake at least two extra curricular activities at the conclusion of classes.
Tea
At the end of the school day, day pupils go home and boarders return to their boarding Houses to dress for tea which is served in the Dining Hall. Pupils have a choice of two hot meals, a salad buffet bar and a dessert each evening.
Prep
During Prep time, pupils can choose to study in their own study bedrooms, in the Sumner Library or in the IT Suite which is open until 8.30 p.m. each evening. Within each boarding house, Houseparents and House Tutors are on hand to provide academic support with Prep work.
Free Time
After prep pupils, catch up with friends, or watch TV either in their own boarding house or in the Day Room of the other Boarding Houses under the constant supervision of the Houseparents. Many pupils use this time to attend clubs and society meetings.
House Check-In
All pupils return to their boarding Houses for "check-in". After check-in, pupils are free to spend time with their friends in the boarding house before lights out.
