Sports, The Arts and Activities

Sports, the Arts and Activities form three of the four cornerstones of the Rossall School education experience. All of our pupils have the opportunity to take part in each of these areas and we believe that this broad involvement helps to develop the well-rounded young people that characterize Rossall pupils from boys and girls educated elsewhere.

Throughout our history, Rossall has produced well-rounded young men and women, actively involved in School life who have excelled in sports and the arts and have gone on to great achievements. Notable past pupils and famous Rosallians include: Major Walter Clopton Wingfield (1847-1852): Patentee of the game of Lawn Tennis; Peter Winterbotton (1973-1978): England Rugby Player; Leslie Charteris (1907-1993): Author of The Saint stories and Sir Thomas Beecham (1879-1961), composer and founder of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
