Our sporting future Introducing our new Sports Centre project
Rossall has a long history of providing sporting excellence. We believe sport helps pupils understand teamwork, communicaton, leadership, discipline, time management and goal setting, as well as increasing confidence in all areas of their academic life.
Having successfully raised ÂŁ200,000 towards the new Sports Centre, The Rossall Foundation has committed to raising a further ÂŁ300,000 by September 2019. This will coincide with the offical opening of the Sports Centre.
Sport for all Participation and engagement will increase across all sports, for all abilities and in all weathers.
Our vision Central to all aspects of sport at Rossall is the provision of a purpose-built Sports Centre. This new facility will have a far-reaching and hugely positive impact upon life at our School for both current and future generations of Rossallians.
