BEYOND THE WAY ACADEMIC

At Roedean, the students are encouraged to think about their learning, identify how they learn best, and pursue academic interests which fall outside of curricular demands.

In Key Stage 3, to spark their intellectual curiosity, the students are encouraged to look beyond the curriculum, to follow academic passions, and to share these with their peers by presenting the findings of their Academic Projects in lectures and Assemblies. This ethos continues throughout the School, and acts as a springboard for more detailed research as the students move through the years. In the Sixth Form, well over half of the current Year 12 are undertaking an Extended Project Qualification in addition to their academic subjects.
