Amber joined Roedean as part of our push to recruit more local girls, talented in subjects such as art, drama and sport. Amber received a Sports Scholarship and Bursary, and during her time at Roedean, she represented the School in swimming, netball, hockey, rounders and athletics. Reflecting on her time at Roedean and particularly it being an all-girls school, Amber said "We could do anything we wanted to do and were not constrained by gender stereotypes, subsequently Roedean is really strong for STEM subjects."
