WEEKLY REVIEW
Head’s Introduction
The whole school has been in public examinations or end of year assessments this week, and I have been impressed by the students’ preparation and focus during this period. For those taking A Levels and GCSEs, half-term presents a really good opportunity to rest and recharge ahead of the next set of papers, and I hope that you have a welldeserved break.
I am also pleased that, alongside their exams and assessments, lots of girls have been able to balance their revision and studies with a range of activities –they also have taken full advantage of the School’s stunning grounds and the fantastic weather. Congratulations to our athletes, who have progressed through to the area Track and Field finals, and our Cricket teams have had some great matches, with high scores and excellent bowling and fielding.
As a new Head, over the last two weeks, I have attended conferences run by HMC and GSA, both prestigious educational associations to which Roedean belongs. The induction progress is comprehensive, and it was a pleasure to meet other Heads, and to learn about and discuss current issues in education, such as Artificial Intelligence and the structures of the exam system, and about challenges our sector may face over the new few years. I have returned with lots of ideas which I hope to share with the community.
I wish you all a wonderful half-term break with friends and family.
