Girl's school Roedean

I researched British girl's school which is Roedean. It has senior School and Junior School.


*history*

In 1885, Lawrence family established Roedean school in Brighton. Theresa Lawrence who is the youngest sister and Katherine Margaret Earle sailed to South Africa with the intention of establishing second Roedean school.



*location*

Senior school locates in Brighton and the scene looks like a chalk. Brighton's population is 200,000 and there are known for the biggest resort in UK. From the London to Brighton, it takes 50 minutes by train. Roedean locates eastern edge of Brighton. It reached 15 minutes from the Brighton station.


*education system*

Roedean has three educational systems. First is Lower School which are 11-12 years old. Subjects are Art, History, Biology, Latin, French,Dance, Classical studies, Mathematics, Drama, English, Sport and so on.

Second, middle school is 13-15 years old students. Middle school is the most important period in their development. Students begin preparation for GCSE(General Certificate of Secondary Education). It means the examinations to graduate school. This three years are so important for them because they have to make independent study habits and to take more personal responsibility for their own work. This term help for them to be good adults for future.



Finlay is sixth form and the age is over 16 years old. Sixth form students are treated for adults. They live own boarding house. Their activity is high level to understanding of the way the world works.
