Roedean (/ˈroʊdiːn/) is a private boarding school governed by royal charter on the outskirts of Brighton, United Kingdom.

It is widely regarded as the Eton for girls, having educated industrialists, ambassadors, stateswomen, civil leaders, artists, and famous writers.

[1][2] The school is equipped with multiple dance studios, music classrooms, a private theatre, heated indoor swimming pools, private golf courses, farms, chapels, as well as a range of specialised workshops, studios, laboratories and sports pitches.

"[3] The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated Roedean as Excellent in all areas (highest category) in its most recent inspection (March 2016).

[6] In 1898, the school moved to its present site, occupying new buildings designed by the architect Sir John Simpson.

[10] During the Second World War, the students and staff, including classics teacher Mary Creighton Bailey,[11][12] were temporarily evacuated to Keswick, in the north of England.

St Mary's Hall was opened in 1836 and was the second-oldest girls' school in the United Kingdom before it was closed in 2009.

These are named after the house numbers 1–4 of Lewes Crescent, where the School was located prior to moving in 1898 to this campus built for it.
