Ruzawi School
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]
Within the school, students are divided up into two 'houses' that compete along academic and sporting lines. The houses are named Grenfell, represented by olive green and named after Julian Grenfell the first born of William Grenfell - Baron of Desborough; and Fairbridge, represented by light blue and named after Kingsley Fairbrige, a South African educator and statesman. The link between the houses, comes from the apt and fierce competition between Julian and Kingsley at Oxford University in the sport of Boxing.
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 .
