Ruzawi School was established in 1928 by joint founders, Canon Robert Grinham and Mr Maurice Carver, as a boarding primary school for boys. It became co-educational from January 2003. It is an Anglican Diocesan school (but does not apply a test of faith for admission) with a pupil population ranging from 205 to 220 depending on the balance of boys and girls and the number of pupils in each age group. In the Infants' Department there is one class each for Grade One and Grade Two. An additional entry point at Grade Three enables there to be two classes from that level up to Grade 7.[1]
The School is situated some five kilometres south of Marondera in extensive grounds surrounded by many hectares of indigenous miombo woodland and exotic eucalyptus plantations .
