As an academic school, we seek to inspire curiosity and a love of learning in all our girls. The strength of teaching at Roedean is that discussion and debate sit at the heart of learning. Lessons are thought-provoking and meaningful, and in all lessons girls thrive through collaboration, cooperation, challenge, and discussion with each other. Our girls are keen to think, to learn, to explore, and to develop intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Our holistic vision of education also places a very high value on all the experiences that take place beyond the classroom, all of which make up an essential part of life at Roedean. The opportunity for girls to be able to excel in a number of different fields is one of the great gifts of Roedean, since it provides them with the space and time to devote to their passions, and all in one place in its unique clifftop location in Brighton. Roedean offers the kind of teaching, learning, and all-round experiences that enable every single girl to find her passion and voice, meaning every one leaves Roedean feeling that anything is possible. It is precisely this rounded education which produces independent and creative young women who will make their mark in the world. A Roedean education is a unique and wonderful experience. At Roedean, we are seeking dedicated and enthusiastic members of staff, who are keen to prioritise the girls’ well-being and happiness at all times. We are looking for those who enjoy working as part of a team, and who appreciate the importance of the girls’ all-round experience at school. We are hoping that the girls will become lifelong learners, always keen to undertake new challenges and learn from their experiences, and Roedean has the same wish for its staff; the school is happy to provide support and training to facilitate the professional development if needed.
