Considering Roedean – Looking for Insights

[ilsenyw]

Hello everyone,
We’re planning to move from Surrey to the Brighton area and are considering Roedean for our daughter. She’s our only child, so we want to ensure she has opportunities to make local friends.
We’re aware that Roedean offers both day and boarding options, and we’d love to hear from families with daughters currently attending. How has your experience been? Does the school foster a strong local community for day students?
We know opinions on schools can vary, but we attended an open day and liked the location and ethos. Our daughter has been in all-girls education so far, so we hope the transition will be smooth.
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

@ilsenyw I commented on your other thread. For this question, you would be better served if you asked Mumsnet to move it to either Secondary or Private in the Education section.

It seems to be mostly overseas students, my friend from Dubai sent her 4 there, they lodged with me. They didn't really have any friends, kept themselves to themselves but had a good time. Lots of extra curriculum activities

Thank you. How do I move a thread? Many thanks

This hasn’t been my DDs experience. She has a wide circle of friends from local day girls to international boarders.

My daughter is a day girl and has lots of local friends in Brighton. small intake so friends options must be a bit limited but she having a great time at the school.
