School Type: Girls

For more than a hundred years, Roedean, a school based on Christian principles and beliefs, has stood firm in a rapidly changing world.  The school’s original principles of Truth, Honour, Freedom, and Courtesy have proved to be a steadfast foundation on which the Roedean of today still flourishes.

Roedean prides itself on its multi-hued tapestry of cultural activities and achievements.  Sport plays an important part in the lives of the girls and the aim is to broaden their cognitive and emotional faculties, and to inculcate a life-long enjoyment of physical exercise.

Roedean has embarked on an important new phase in the area of community development.  It is the school’s aim to develop actively caring individuals who are practiced in responsible citizenship, and who have a deep understanding of diversity.

Members of staff recognise the value of tradition, while welcoming change and innovation.  Roedean pupils are taught an academic programme that educates the girl across a wide range of subjects.  Girls are encouraged to achieve their personal best and to strive for academic excellence in an enriching and stimulating environment.  They emerge as well-rounded, self-assured young women eager to embrace the challenges of the adult world.
