CONNECTIONS

THAT CONTINUE

BEYOND

SCHOOL

A Roedean girl is a Roedeanian for life. When the students leave Roedean, they all become Old Roedeanians (ORs), and join a strong community of women which numbers thousands, who support each other and the School. The Roedeanian Society and the Old Roedeanians’ Association work together to nurture these relationships through communications and events.

This network is truly global, with ORs in every corner of the world, and working in an incredible variety of professions. This means that wherever our leavers end up, and whatever career they choose to follow, there is likely to be an OR already there to welcome them.

We are very fortunate that many ORs and Roedean parents generously volunteer their time and expertise to provide guidance and support to our current pupils, through careers talks, mentoring and support with work experience.
