Welcome to Years 10 and 11

Dear Parent,

My name is Hazel Heron and I am the Head of Middle School, responsible for girls in Years 10 -11 (known at Roedean as Lower Five and Upper Five).

I oversee the role of the tutors and liaise closely with the House staff. We all work together as a team to ensure that your daughter will quickly feel at home at Roedean, both in and out of the classroom. i will be helping you and your daughters as they move through the crucial GCSE years.

You will find the House staff extremely welcoming. They will do everything possible to assist your daughter, whether she is a day girl or a boarder. In addition, each girl is a member of a tutor group. Tutors register the girls twice a day and offer full academic support to their tutees. The Lower Five girls will have the same tutor for the next two years to ensure continuity through the GCSE years.

At Roedean we believe that girls are at their happiest and achieve their best if they have a sense of their parents and the school staff working together. Therefore, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns or questions.

I look forward to getting to know you and your daughter.
