HEAD ’ S WEEKLY REVIEW

Head’s Introduction

It was such a pleasure yesterday to welcome to Roedean the girls who will be joining Years 7-9 next year. Most were a mixture of excitement and nerves, but I am sure that meeting their tutors and the girls who will be in their tutor-groups will help the first few days in September to run smoothly. I also enjoyed meeting the new parents, along with my Senior Team colleagues and the tutors – we are all excited about the coming year.

I was very pleased to welcome representatives from Best Schools UK to Roedean this week, and to be presented with an award for being one of the top 10 UK girls’ boarding schools for last year’s A Level results. These accolades are hard-fought, and I was proud to receive the award on behalf of all the students and staff. The representatives enjoyed a tour of the School and were full of praise for everything they saw.

The Year 9s enjoyed a great residential trip at the start of the week, and I am pleased to have heard very positive feedback about the experience – I am grateful to Miss Shrubsole and her tutors for organising and taking part in this trip. Many of these and 65 Year 10s will also be doing their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver assessed expeditions this weekend, and there is a Sixth Form Geography field trip – I wish them all the best of luck! You will all have received the booklet containing next year’s exciting residential trips, and I am sure that there is something for everyone.

I would like to congratulate all those taking A Levels and GCSEs, who seem to be approaching their exams calmly and with a quiet confidence – well done. I wish you all a lovely weekend.

This Week in Boarding...

We are thrilled that Roedean has been recognised as a 'Top 10 UK Girls' Boarding School by A Level'!

This week, we welcomed Ali Pettitt and Dan MacDonnell, representing Education Advisers Ltd and best-schools.co.uk, to Reodean – they enjoyed a tour of the School and took the opportunity to present the award to Mrs Green.

Congratulations to everyone in the Sixth Form whose hard work in recent years has culminated in this incredible award!
