Today, our chapel felt like a refuge from the warm air in all the other school buildings. While we usually struggle with the temperatures in this beautiful old building (and have at times seen our own breath because it was that cold), they were a blessing today. A refreshing and cool place of calm - our refuge for body and mind before heading into this afternoon’s rather warm classes. 

Over the past 18 months, Rossall School’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF) has been working closely with local Army Cadet Force (ACF) detachments in a unique collaboration that’s already delivering impressive results.

Each week, Rossall CCF welcomes ACF cadets from Wingate Company into its facilities, giving them access to advanced training resources such as L98 rifles, a DCCT simulator, and an air rifle range—equipment not typically available during standard ACF parade nights.

Leading the initiative is Captain Dave Lindsay, Rossall’s School Staff Instructor and a former ACF instructor and detachment commander. His insight and experience have played a vital role in making the partnership a success.

Confirmations are a really important thing.You need to confirm event bookings and concert venues, table reservations and business transactions, hotels and your holiday return flight.

This Sunday afternoon, eight of our current students and one who has left us only a couple of years ago are going to confirm their faith!
