Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Rossall does not publish a single whole-school pass mark in the evidence provided.
Qualifying as selective-eligible is only the first hurdle. Final allocation depends on oversubscription criteria, and distance from the school is frequently the deciding factor.
At 16+, meeting minimum GCSE grades is necessary but offers still depend on space and capacity.
Parents often assume the highest scorers get priority. In practice, once a child meets the selective threshold, proximity to the school can matter more than raw score.
