Didn’t get your first choice?
If your secondary school allocation doesn’t feel right, you still have options. We’re here to help you explore them with clarity and confidence.
If you Feel Unsure
Allocation day can bring mixed emotions. Excitement for some, and uncertainty for others. If you’re questioning whether the allocated school is the right fit for your child, that instinct matters.
Choosing a school is about more than a postcode. It’s about confidence, belonging and opportunity.
At Rossall, we welcome families who want to explore alternatives, whether that means a September start or planning ahead.
