About Rossall Junior School

Rossall School’s Pre-Prep and Prep phase, commonly referred to as Rossall Junior School, is in Fleetwood, Lancashire, and takes both day and boarding pupils. Year 3 is one of its entry points, and the school is unusually direct about what that involves.

Its own admissions page states plainly: ‘there is no formal assessment for entrance into Rossall Pre-Prep and Prep School.’

With no formal assessment, the process rests on the Taster Day and the paperwork: your child’s last two school reports and a reference from their current school. There’s no single assessment date to work back from, so contact admissions directly about timing for Year 3 entry.

Bursary and scholarship support at Pre-Prep and Prep level isn’t clearly stated on the pages the school publishes, so ask directly if fee assistance matters to your application, rather than assuming it isn’t available.

What is the 7 Plus (7+) assessment format at Rossall Junior School?

There’s no written paper and no formal test. The school builds its picture from your child’s school reports and reference, and from the Taster Day, where they spend time with their future classmates and a typical school day.

With no assessment to prepare for directly, the most useful thing you can do is make sure the Taster Day itself goes well: a rested, curious child who enjoys the day gives the clearest picture of how they’ll settle.
