From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roedean School is an independent girls' school in Brighton, England.
It was founded in 1885 by three of the Lawrence sisters: Penelope, Millicent, and Dorothy Lawrence. In 1898, the school moved to its present site on the Sussex Downs overlooking the sea. The school buildings are set on a forty-acre site near Brighton.
