CREATIVE COMMUNITIES ROEDEAN AT

The Creative and Performing Arts are at the very core of Roedean’s ethos, and students revel in their achievements in these areas. The School delights in the girls’ successes on stage in our wonderful newly-refurbished Theatre, while performing in concerts and recitals, and exhibiting in Art shows, and the work they produce and their talents are exceptional.

The Art Department is consistently successful in public examinations, and students achieve outstanding results in RAD Dance, ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall Music, and LAMDA examinations. The termly Dance, Drama, and Music performances showcase our students’ remarkable talents, and these include ensembles in a range of styles, in which experienced performers inspire those with developing skills.

Two dance studios, indoor pool, new all-weather pitch – there’s even a golf course. Co-curricular offerings are varied and plenty, from Lego engineering to the astronomy club. The sea swimming club meet at 6am and go through Roedean’s private tunnel to the beach for their swim, no wet suits allowed; they’ve signed up to relay swim the Channel.

We thought it was incredible the moment we walked through the door…’, said a parent. Roedean makes a vivid first impression: of bold determination, certainly, in its grand cliff top position to the east of Brighton.

Good Schools Guide 2020

Roedean has so much to offer girls in all areas – it has a creative, progressive feeling to it. Girls are free to choose how and what they wish to learn and are supported rather than pushed or steered. They are equally free from expectations as to what is and is not appropriate for girls and allowed to be themselves. Muddy Stilettos

Perhaps the secret to Roedean’s success is all that fresh sea air, delicious food, and calm atmosphere in which girls are not constrained by external expectations.

Notable is the atmosphere, one of lively purpose. It is immediately compelling.

Successful women, including Olympic gold medalists and a professor of space physics, come into the school as ambassadors six times a year to encourage and inspire.
