The Rossall Foundation is launching our Future Heritage project and I would like to invite you to our Rossall Heritage Day to help celebrate the launch of the project on 6th Ocotber 2023 at Rossall School, Fleetwood, Lancashire, FY7 8JW.

The Sumner Library, Big School and the Chapel of St John the Baptist are all listed buildings, noted for their architectural importance. Time has not stood still and these buildings are now in need of urgent repair. Wind, rain and salt have exerted a toll on the physical fabric of our listed buildings. It is the case that crumbling masonry, corroded metal, rotten roof beams and leaking pipes threaten the very existence of our buildings. Safeguarding the future of these buildings will cost well in excess of £1.5 million and this does not take into account the work that needs to be carried out in order to ensure that the Sumner Library becomes a modern study space within which children can work together collaboratively. Similarly, it does not take into account the amount of work that needs to be accomplished in order to transform Big School into a flexible performance space capable of supporting our rapidly expanding performing arts programme. The Foundation is launching an appeal to ask for support to safeguard our buildings. The purpose of this project is twofold: to preserve the past and to support the future.

I would like to invite you to join us for an agenda filled day on 6th October starting at 10am with a welcome reception. This will be followed by school tours, archives displays and the chance to experience the Rossall Chapel in all of its glory. We will have talks by our Headmaster and a lunch will be hosted in our beautiful  Common Room which is one of the most historic aspects of the School and we are delighted to open it up to Old Rossallians.
