About

Space To Be…

Fearless

Clara

I joined Roedean in Year 7 as a club pool swimmer, and joining the sea-swimming sessions opened up a completely new side of the sport for me. We began training to become Roedean’s first English Channel Relay team, which I was proud to be part of in Year 9. That achievement inspired me to complete my Channel Solo in Year 12, something I would never have believed possible without Roedean’s support.

“The record of achievement in a range of sports is outstanding, and pupils say they enjoy the opportunity for participation in myriad school fixtures, whatever their level of competence.”
