It is wonderful to hear the corridors full of chatter and to see the girls so happy to see each other and their School. Years 11 and 13 were greeted by blue skies and sunshine on Tuesday, Years 10 and 12 returned to grey skies on Wednesday, and Years 7, 8, and 9 came back to gusting high winds and rain on Thursday, but nothing could dampen their spirits!

Last week began with Roedean’s brilliant festival to celebrate International Women’s Day. The remote format of the event worked very well, and it meant that we were able to welcome a wide range of excellent speakers. In other news, an update from the School’s Race Around the World challenge – we are now at 11571 Kilometres and have made it to Botswana, so there’s really not far to go till we get to South Africa!  Well done to everyone who has logged their distances – we’ve already been to 8 countries where Roedean girls live, 20 countries in total!

And finally, don’t forget to book your ticket for our inaugural Headmaster’s Lecture on Wednesday 17 March. Our guest speaker is Sarah Jenkins, the Managing Director of Saatchi & Saatchi London. Please book your place at this virtual event here www,roedeantheatre.co.uk
