The independent school admissions process: straightforward and quick

Roedean’s international community means we have developed a flexible admissions schedule. Most importantly, as a private school, admissions interviews can take place to suit our applicants.

Entry levels

Age and entry levelMethod

11 years+
(entry to Year 7)

Girls take either the Common Entrance (very typical for a private school admission) or Roedean’s own independent school entrance exam.

13 years+
(entry to Year 9)

The natural continuation from prep school is at age 13. Again, Common Entrance is typical, but Roedean’s own independent school entrance exam is also widely used.

16 years+
(entry to Year 12)

Given Roedean’s A level results, it is no surprise that entry is to the sixth form is competitive. This is particularly true of the specialist sixth form subjects of Economics, Government and Politics, History of Art and Psychology.


Make an appointment to visit

If you are considering placing your daughter at Roedean, we recommend that you plan to visit the campus at least once – many families visit two or three times. You can do this by attending an Open Day, which happen three times each year, or by making an individual visit.

Contact Diana Banham, Admissions Manager on 01273 667626 to arrange your visit.
