St Margaret’s Admissions Process
Overview
Roedean School ensures that each child receives the personal attention they require to develop as individuals. We maintain a class size average of 25 pupils which means that often girls are first placed on a waiting list before we proceed with an application process.
Special consideration is given to siblings and daughters of Roedean past pupils (SAORA)
Please note that the main points of entry to Roedean are:
- Grade 0 for St Margarets and the Junior School

Step 2
Book a facilities tour with our Public Relations Director. Your whole family is welcome to join us on these tours. This may be completed prior to submitting an application form.
Step 3
a) Entry into Grade 0
An interview with the Headmistress or a Deputy Headmistress and a brief screening process for your daughter will take place in the year preceding the date of her entry into Grade 0.
b) Entry into Grade 1 to Grade 3
Should there be a possibility of a placement becoming available, your daughter will then undergo a brief diagnostic assessment. An interview is arranged with the Headmistress or Deputy Headmistress where you have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Step 4
Based on availability, the diagnostic assessment and the interview, your daughter is either offered a position at Roedean School or is placed on the waiting list.
