It is a privilege and an honour to be the Head of this very special School. You will see, like I did, that it is an exciting community to be part of with dedicated staff, enthusiastic girls, supportive parents association, and a global Old Girls network.
I have now worked for over 20 years in leading girls' boarding schools in a variety of academic and pastoral roles starting off as a French and German teacher, Head of Department, Housemistress, Deputy Head and more recently as Acting Head.
For me, an all girls' education is synonymous with an education to become a strong, independent, resilient young woman ready to face the world – whilst providing a safe space for girls as they experience the most important years in their development.
"My vision for the girls at Roedean is to continue the vision of the founding Lawrence sisters when they moved Roedean to this exceptional site more than 125 years ago: a truly holistic education."
