Junior School Overview
An amazing educational journey
The journey at Roedean begins in Grade 0 in the magical environment of St Margaret’s, home to the Foundation Phase. Here, the Grade 0 Squirrels and Hedgehogs are gently introduced to school life, before transitioning into Grade 1 to Form 1 (Grade 3) and the formality of ‘big’ school. During this phase, the class teachers and classroom assistants focus on the overall well-being of each pupil, ensuring happy and stimulating learning experiences.
As the pupils grow and become more independent, they graduate up the hill to the Upper Junior School. Here, the focus is on developing each student’s unique strengths, creating a love of learning, and encouraging curiosity, tenacity, friendship, physical activity, problem solving, and social justice.
The talents and passions of our teachers, the personal qualities of each pupil in their care, and our stimulating educational approach underpin success at Roedean.
Our founding values of Truth, Honour, Freedom, and Courtesy are the cornerstones for encouraging resilient, life-long, self-directed learners, who are able to work collaboratively in striving to live an authentic life of significance.

Overview
Focused on the well-being of our pupils.
Our Junior School Pastoral Care Team is made up of the Deputy Head with a team of psychologists who are committed to the emotional and social well-being of our community: our students, teachers, and parents.
Because of ever-increasing social, co-curricular and academic pressures, healthy emotional intelligence is important as it develops resilience, motivation, empathy, reasoning, and good stress management, which all equip the students to navigate their way when facing challenges in their lives.
Co-Curricular Activities
We help our pupils discover their passions
A vibrant co-curricular programme offers pupils additional opportunities to hone their skills in areas that they enjoy. Sporting, cultural and service activities, alongside the experiences provided by Round Square, camps and outings, all extend and enhance our core offering to give each student a truly holistic experience.
