House 1 - Roedean

House 1

Boarding

House 1 is a safe haven, a calm, welcoming space where students feel secure and supported. From that foundation, they gain the confidence to flourish socially, emotionally, and academically, and to become the very best version of themselves.

Meet Miss Smith, House 1 Housemistress

With 14 years of boarding experience at Roedean, across all age groups. Miss Smith has had the privilege of supporting students through some of the most exciting and formative years of their lives. From helping new boarders settle in to mentoring Sixth Formers as they prepare for life beyond school, she has relished every moment of this incredibly rewarding role. Throughout her time in boarding, Miss Smith has worked to create environments where students feel safe, heard, and inspired, and where pastoral care is personal, meaningful, and tailored to the individual needs of each boarder.


In addition to her Housemistress role, Miss Smith is also a Geography teacher.


“The relationships built through boarding are truly special. Being a Housemistress means having the opportunity to form deep, lasting connections, not just as a teacher, but as a mentor and role model. There’s nothing more rewarding than knowing you’ve helped shape a young person’s academic and personal journey, and supported them in becoming confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.”
