Rossall School
School summary
A coastal independent school on the Lancashire seafront at Fleetwood, Rossall combines a Christian, Church of England foundation with a full boarding offer. It is a medium-sized, mixed school of around 200 pupils, and its pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly 14 to 1 keeps class groups manageable. Pupils can join at age 11, and the school is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
With about 14 pupils to each teacher, the school is set up for close attention to individual progress. Entry at 11 includes an 11+ route, so families should expect an assessed admissions process.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A traditional seaside boarding school for families seeking a Christian ethos and a structured, close-knit environment in Lancashire.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
