Roedean School

Roedean School, founded in 1885 and perched dramatically on the clifftops east of Brighton, is one of England's leading girls' boarding and day schools. Educating approximately 650 girls aged 11 to 18, Roedean offers GCSE and A-Level programmes with a strong emphasis on intellectual challenge, creative thinking, and independent learning. The school is a member of the Girls' Schools Association (GSA) and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). Roedean draws students from over 40 countries, with international students making up approximately 25% of the school. The school has a particularly strong tradition in STEM education, with modern laboratories and a dedicated technology centre. Performing arts, sport, and outdoor education are also significant strengths. The school's stunning clifftop setting adjacent to the South Downs National Park offers unique opportunities for outdoor learning. Roedean's boarding community — organised across six boarding houses — creates a rich multicultural residential environment. Graduates proceed to leading universities in the UK and internationally, well-prepared for the academic and personal challenges of higher education.
