Rosewood Independent School was established in 2020 due to a desire to provide education to disadvantaged young people. I originally established Total Tuition as an alternative provision in 2018, due to my long-standing desire to provide education to disadvantaged young people.
Total Tuitions educational services became registered as Rosewood Independent School in September 2020. I qualified from University with QTS and a primary specialism, a MA in Social Development and Sustainable Livelihoods, and an M.Ed in Educational Leadership.
At age 23, I researched and set up a charity project in Kenya delivering education to street children, children in juvenile prison, and in slum schools. At 28, I decided to dedicate my career to offering quality education to children closer to home whilst continuing my voluntary charity role.
I focused on finding a solution to educate those children who found attending or accessing education in mainstream school a challenge. We morphed into a trauma-informed provision within 6 months of opening, and embedded a 'connection before correction' ethos into the setting and all that we provide.
