Introduction

 

Rossall School is a co-educational, independent school located between Cleveleys and Fleetwood in Lancashire. Founded in 1844 with the aim of providing quality education to the sons of Clergymen (and others) at a moderate cost, the school occupies a magnificent 161-acre estate next to Rossall Beach. [1]

 

The curriculum covers English, maths, science, art, computing/DT, drama, food studies, geography, history, music, MFL, Latin, PHSE and PE. The wide range of co-curricular clubs further develops pupils’ abilities, allowing them to take part in climbing, art & photography, debating, yoga, zumba and a number of other activities. 

 

Trips to foreign destinations are organised on a regular basis and have included destinations such as Malta, Switzerland, France, India (Himalayas) and Iceland.

 

Providing a pastorally nurturing, culturally diverse and intellectually stimulating environment, the school ensures that children are inspired to take full advantage of the first-class education on offer. As they develop their intellectual interests and curiosity, they mature into self-motivated and independent thinkers, receptive to new ideas and eager to explore and improve the world around them.

The Rossall School 11+ exam consists of the following papers:

 

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Non-Verbal Reasoning

 

The English paper examines both comprehension and writing skills, including inference, spelling, vocabulary and punctuation. Marks will be awarded for good use of imagination, creativity, form, purpose, organisation, cohesion and sentence structure.

 

The maths exam assesses your child’s problem-solving abilities and arithmetic skills. The paper may include questions on number, measurement, geometry, algebra and statistics.

 

The Non-Verbal Reasoning paper measures the ability to understand, interpret and problem-solve, testing logic and intelligence rather than knowledge.
