Friends and supporters

Everybody needs friends. When the Lawrence sisters founded Roedean, they knew they had ‘staunch supporters’ to count on for advice and moral support among their family, particularly ‘Uncle’ Paul and Aunt Martineau. From a practical point of view, the construction of the school was achieved through the subscriptions of many Midlands industrialists and other friends.

Now, as ever, Roedean leaves a strong impression on people. One former parent says, “Though my daughters left Roedean many years ago, it is still very close to my heart.”

Current President of the Old Roedeanians’ Association Sasha Glynn notes, “Apart from the excellent education we received and the enduring international friendships we made at Roedean, above all we learned it is important to live your life with kindness, compassion and understanding.”

It is fair to say that generations of Old Roedeanians still regard their time here as the catalyst for the successful lives they now lead. This has led to wide circle of friends and supporters, described as ‘a mighty source of strength’, keeping an eye on the school’s wellbeing.

In 2009, Roedean merged with St Mary's Hall (SMH). SMH alumni can reach their Association here.
