Rossall is an inclusive and diverse community that welcomes children of all abilities. We pride ourselves on educating the whole child and we inspire our children to pursue their dreams – whether they be academic, sporting or lie in the realm of performing arts.
Outstanding teaching and learning is provided by a team of staff dedicated to the success of each and every child and this, alongside an excellent pastoral provision (ISI 2021), provides the foundations for personal success.
Each year we celebrate the achievements of our Upper Sixth Form leavers. Despite the unique challenges of the last few years and the unprecedented pressure on university places, almost two thirds of those heading to university in the UK are progressing to Top20/Russell Group universities – including Oxford and Cambridge. Others are taking up 100% sporting scholarships at prestigious universities in the United States, whilst a small number will embark upon degree apprenticeships with the likes of BAE Systems, Mercedes and Deloitte. We are proud of our students and we know that current and prospective members of the Rossall community share our delight in their success.
Students in Rossall Sixth Form study for a variety of different curricular programmes including:
Inevitably, the distribution of students (in terms of performance) varies across different courses from one year to the next.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Average: 34 points
(world average = 30 points)
Percentage of 6/7s = 40% (A/A* equivalent)
Almost 40% of pupils achieved 36 points or above in total – equivalent to AAA at A-level
A*- A 34%
A*- B 60%
A*- C 83%
A*-E 100%
We acknowledge the achievements of those who graduate from Rossall with distinction (cum laude). This year once again over a third of the cohort have achieved this accolade (ABB or equivalent) and the results for these students are as follows:
A* 24%
A* – A 66%
A* – B 94%
Grade 6 – 7 at HL (equivalent to A*- A) 75%
Grade 4 – 7 (equivalent to A* – C) 100%
These students are invited back to a celebratory dinner in the Spring Term following their departure, They are invited to join the 1844 Valentini Society.
We place great importance on all public examinations and we are justifiably proud of the achievements of our Year 11 pupils.
It is worth bearing in mind that, unusually, a significant number of those taking GCSEs at Rossall are either sitting all of their examinations in a second language and/or completing the full programme of study in just one year – in preparation for Sixth Form courses at Rossall. When presenting our results, we make no distinction between those studying within the main School and those studying on the Pre-Sixth Form or Foundation programmes.
Consequently, the combined averages for all those who sat GCSE examinations this summer were:
7-9 37%
6-9 57%
4-9 93%
All schools should be able to demonstrate, with confidence, that their pupils achieve excellent outcomes. We are particularly proud of our 2023 leavers and the list of destinations below is indicative of the ambition and success of this fantastic cohort.
