A New Life by the Sea
The Roedean Group of Schools can give families an exceptional opportunity for a new life in the vibrant seaside city of Brighton. Co-ed Deepdene Prep offers a varied curriculum, small class sizes and a nurturing environment for younger siblings, whilst Roedean continues to be the most successful girls’ school in Sussex, combining the tradition and heritage of a school for girls founded in 1885 with dynamic teaching, an extensive cocurricular offer, exceptional accommodation following an £11million refurbishment, and modern facilities located in a stunning cliff-top position by the sea. Brighton – the sunniest city in the UK and regularly voted one of the best cities to live and work – is easily accessible, being less than an hour by train to London Victoria, and only 30 minutes by taxi to Gatwick. A vibrant city, Brighton is both an urban and modern place to live whilst at the same time being flanked by both the South Downs countryside and beautiful coastline. Girls at Deepdene can experience a smooth transition to Roedean (subject to the usual admissions process) whilst boys are supported in finding and preparing for senior school, and all children at Deepdene enjoy the benefits of the Roedean partnership, with the students coming to Roedean on a weekly basis to enjoy the extensive sports facilities on offer and to visit the farm. Deepdene is situated a short drive from Roedean in the suburb of Hove, and is a short walk to Hove beach. Hove is an extremely popular area to live with families, being both within walking distance of Brighton town centre but also being host to plenty of its own bustling shops, bars and restaurants, along with a family-friendly beach.
Hello, I’m from Hong Kong and I moved to Brighton with my family three weeks ago. Brighton is a stunning place with a beautiful sea and rich culture. We are attracted by Roedean’s magnificent campus and its amazing education system, this is like our dream school. The teachers are encouraging and really kind to students. The students here are super friendly to everyone, everyone learns from each other. The food here is delicious, there are so many choices that everyone gets what they like. There’s a wide-range of clubs for students to choose from, they can do whatever they like and even discover their interests. There are lots of facilities and resources here, students can definitely benefit a lot from them. The school life here is amazing and I don’t think I’ll ever regret studying in this wellknown school. I’ve only been here for 2 weeks and I’m already in love with this school. Queena
We are a family of five and we are from Hong Kong. We find the British education system very beneficial, there are also lots of decent schools in Brighton, the weather and the environment here are pleasant as well. We immigrated to the UK by LOTR successfully in August, 2020, which allows us to work and study in the UK. I have two daughters and one son, who are currently studying in Years 10, 9 and 6 respectively. Both of my daughters are currently studying at Roedean School. Roedean is a well-equipped school with beautiful buildings and a magnificent view. The teachers are very amiable and the girls at Roedean are very kind. They have adapted to school life very quickly. My son studies at Deepdene. The school is smaller but near the city centre. The advantage is that the class sizes are small. This makes the teachers know the students better. The teachers got to know my son very quickly. He has adapted to school life straight away. My husband and I adore these two schools very much. We like their teaching system and we’re glad that they have adapted to their school life very well in such a short period of time. Mrs Chong
