}}Roedean Moira House, formerly Moira House School, is an independent day and boarding school for girls aged 6 weeks to 18 years. Founded by Mr Charles Ingham in Surrey in 1875, and moving to Eastbourne in 1887, Moira House is an inter-denominational school. On 27 January 2018, Moira House merged with Roedean School as part of the newly created Roedean Group of Schools and was renamed Roedean Moira House.[1][2][3]

The school has 312 pupils on roll (March 2017) including 10 boys, 302 girls, with 55 in the sixth form.[4]

History

It was established in 1875 by Charles Ingham at a place called "Moira House".[4] Later, circa 1890 it moved to its current location.[4] In January 2018, Moira House became part of the Roedean Group of Schools and its name was changed to Roedean Moira House.[5]

School houses

Traditionally siblings are allocated to the same house.

In the school the houses are named after significant figures in myths and legends:

  • Excalibur, symbolised by a sword and the colour gold
  • Pegasus, symbolised by a pegasus and the colour white
  • Vulcan, symbolised by a flame and the colour red
  • Merlin, symbolised by a wizard and the colour green

Sports

With views over the sea, the grounds open directly onto the South Downs National Park providing walking, cycling and pony trekking opportunities for the girls. Playing fields provide facilities for tennis (including lawn), cricket, football, equestrian, hockey (including astro), netball, lacrosse and athletics. The school also has a 25-metre indoor heated swimming pool, and sports hall, and opened an equestrian centre in September 2016.[4]

Music

Visiting staff teach cello, clarinet, flute, guitar, piano, recorder, saxophone, violin, vocal etc. Girls who wish to do so are able to take Associated Board of Examination music exams. The Chamber Choir has sung all over the world, from San Francisco to Hong Kong. They have also sung more locally, being invited to many places such as Canterbury Cathedral. Every two years there is a Performing Arts Tour which, for those who participate, involves flying to other parts of the world to perform. Previous tours have been to Australia, Dubai, San Francisco and Barbados. The most recent tour was to New York where the girls sang at the Empire State Building, the United Nations Building and the Statue of Liberty. Girls can study LAMDA exams in drama and can study Musical Theatre.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}}
