Overview
Our Summer School is esigne to appeal to boys an girls from all over the worl, running
throughout the summer holiays on our stunning coastal campus, where they have plenty of
space to learn an explore.
Careful consieration is given to ensure that all communication ur ing the stuents’ time here
at Rossall Summer School is in English. With this in min, we try our best, where possible, to

Our inter national stuents will also have the opportunity to mix with English stuents at meal
times an ur ing after noon an evening activities on a number of weeks when our resiential
an non-resiential courses are running uring 2020.
Three years ago, we launche a bran new initiative, offer ing specialise skills weeks to our
stuents. Following the success of these skills, we are continuing to offer stuents in 2020 the
opportunity to choose from fourteen ifferent specialise skills weeks (two per week, alongsie
English tuition).
Those who ecie not to choose a specialise skill can enjoy a fun packe programme of
creative activities an sports.
Rossall Summer School utilises the school’s extensive facilities, allowing us to offer a var ie
programme to suit everyone.
