Admissions processAdmissions process 2011The admissions process may seem long and daunting, but we havea great Admissions Team who will be happy to support you andyour daughter all the way through.

1. Read the prospectus and www.roedean.co.uk to find all the factsyou need to decide whether Roedean is the right place for yourdaughter.

2. If so, complete the registration form opposite and send with thesupporting documents and registration fee.

3. Come and see the school if you haven’t done so already. Chooseeither an Open Day or an individual visit at a time to suit you.

Generally speaking we recommend making an individual visitduring term time as it is the best time to see the school in action,meet key members of staff and, most importantly, see our pupils.

Your daughter may also like to come to a Taster Day to meet someof her prospective classmates. It can help for pupils to meet eachother before the term begins and many girls swap addresses andstay in touch throughout the holidays.

4. Obviously it’s important to make sure that our curriculum willsuit your daughter. For the entrance exam, applicants can chooseeither Roedean’s own entry papers (which are offered on a rollingschedule), or the Common Entrance.

Roedean’s three papers are English, Maths or Liberal Arts and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Each academic paper lasts an hour.

5. We also ask applicants to come for an interview with theHeadmistress, which can take place either on the same day astesting, or another day if more convenient.

6. Congratulations! Once you have been offered a place atRoedean, you have four weeks to accept it by paying a deposit(half a term’s fee, or a whole term if you are living outside the UK). We can then send joining instructions and a CAS number if yourdaughter needs a student visa.
