SPORT STUNNING BACKDROP FOR ALL WITH A

The girls play sport with the sea in front of them and the South Downs behind – ours must be among the best school sports fields in the country. The virtue of sport and exercise is central to Roedean’s ethos and aims, and our offer, which includes 14 different sports, provides opportunities for elite sportswomen as well as for those who are just learning new games.

In the lower years, there are A-E teams in hockey and A-F teams in netball. This means many girls represent Roedean in over 800 fixtures, and our top athletes throughout the School also represent their county and play at club level.

Roedean’s sporting facilities include a flood-lit all-weather pitch at the heart of the School, a 25-metre indoor pool, newly refurbished netball and tennis courts, and a newly-laid cricket wicket and nets donated by an Old Roedeanian.

To inspire girls, the school has rounded up Olympic hockey gold medallists Kate and Helen RichardsonWalsh to visit regularly as official Sports Ambassadors. Muddy Stilettos

Pupils relish the opportunities for physical exercise, whether through the outstanding provision for sport or extra-curricular activity.
