HEAD’S REVIEW
Nine Students Achieved Level 1 in BSL
Head’s Introduction
It has been so fantastic that the new academic year has started so well, with the students and staff ready and excited for the new term! Following our outstanding A Level and record-breaking GCSE results, it is all the more wonderful to find out in the last week that Roedean has been announced as a finalist in Talk, Education Choices Awards 2025, and that the School has won the Best of the Best Award in The Week Schools’ Guide in the categories for both Creative Arts and SEND – I am so proud of our outstanding community! Congratulations to our BSL cohort, who all dis brilliantly to pass the Level 1 qualification, and I am also delighted that we have another crop of straight distinctions for all those who took LAMDA exams in the summer – well done! There have also been some wonderful and remarkable individual success stories over the summer, which are included in this review: Clara successfully swam solo to France – what an astonishing achievement; Juliette won an international Chinese writing competition; Ellen sang with the National Youth Choir; Cherrie performed brilliantly in the London K-Pop competition; and Finya and Maisa took on amazing open water swimming challenges. Others have challenged themselves in other ways, such as Lydia, who spent three weeks in Costa Rica, and Molly, who did an intensive ballet programme. Well done!
House 2 Win House Shout
Clara's Solo Swim to France
The House competitions started with a bang yesterday, and it was lovely to see Roedean’s renowned house spirit so strong even at this early point in the year. Well done to everyone, but particularly to House 2 who took the overall prize in this first House battle of the year! Well done again for a wonderful first week, and I wish you all a restful weekend!
