The three categories are Girls School of the Year, Performing Arts School of the Year and Rising Star Award.

The last award is in recognition of the great speed-skating successes Alex (Yr8) has had over the last year. We are hoping that Alex follows in the footsteps of last years' winner, Maria Paduroiu (No. 2, 2016-18), our former Charity Prefect who is now studying Criminal Psychology at university, and who we are all hoping to see competing at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. 

Brought to you by Independent School Parent, Independent Schools of the Year 2019 is an awards programme designed to offer UK independent schools a platform to showcase their success stories and celebrate the student experiences they provide. The 18 awards categories have been chosen to reflect the breadth and diversity of life in independent schools in the 21st century and to acknowledge their contribution to wider society

The winners of each category will be announced in October, but shortlisting is, in itself, a wonderful accolade for Roedean.
