Join us in wishing our Old Rossallian Jacob Draper (Pe 2014-16) the best of luck heading into the Olympics with Team GB!

From Pelican House in 2014 to Paris in 2024. We’re all behind you, Jacob.

A real pleasure to get up onto the roof of Big School to see the incredible work being carried out to make sure that the building will be watertight for at least another hundred years. None of this work would have been possible without the enormous generosity of those who have donated the the Foundation's Future Heritage Project. There is much more to be done, but this is a fantastic start and we are very appreciative of the fact that we have already been able to commence works. Thank you is never enough. Jeremy Quartermain

🏏 Rescheduling of the Festival of Cricket 🏏

The Old Rossallian Festival of Cricket was due to take place 2nd June at Rossall Cricket Pavilion. Due to the late start of the cricket season because of poor weather, this has meant that a lot of our Old Rossallians are not free to play in our Festival of Cricket. As such, we have taken the decision to reschedule this event

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

We would like to thank all our Old Rossallians who attended yesterday’s OR London Event at a private members club. A great night was had by all, memories were made and connections made stronger
