Roedean School
Roedean School is an independent day and boarding school in Roedean Village on the outskirts of Brighton, East Sussex, England for girls aged 11 to 18. The campus is situated near the Sussex Downs on a cliff overlooking Brighton Marina.
The school incorporates a 320-seat theatre, a heated indoor swimming pool and a chapel, as well as a range of workshops, studios, laboratories and sports pitches. Current school fees are between £5,250 and £11,550 per term,〔(Roedean School )〕 from the youngest day girls to the oldest boarders. This puts Roedean among the most expensive girls' schools in the United Kingdom. Roedean School is a member of the Girls' Schools Association. The ''Good Schools Guide'' stated that the "School has a healthy spirit and much to offer."〔http://goodschoolsguide.co.uk/school/roedean-school.html〕
==History==
The school was founded in 1885 as Wimbledon House by three sisters: Penelope, Millicent, and Dorothy Lawrence. Their brother was the lawyer Sir Paul Lawrence of Wimbledon, who helped them considerably, and their Lawrence great aunts had been noted school teachers earlier in the century, mainly in Liverpool. Roedean was founded to prepare girls for entrance to the newly opened women's colleges at Cambridge University, Girton (now co-ed) and Newnham Colleges.〔(History of Roedean )〕 In 1898, the school moved to its present site occupying new buildings designed by the architect Sir John Simpson. A sister school, also called Roedean School and co-founded by the youngest Lawrence sister, Theresa in 1903, is located in Johannesburg, South Africa.
During the Second World War, the students and staff were temporarily evacuated to Keswick, in the north of England. The school buildings in Brighton, Sussex were then used by the Admiralty 〔(2nd World War Blog - Keswick Hotel and Roedean )〕 It was used by Navy cadets attending the Mining and Torpedo School (known as the HMS Vernon). Hence Roedean has the rare honour of being one of the few girls' schools in the country with an Old Boys' Association.〔(Roedean Old Boys' Association )〕 The artist Percy Shakespeare was killed by a German bomb while serving at Roedean.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Percy Shakespeare Collection )〕
