Why Rosewood Independent School

Bespoke Education Where Every Child Thrives

We are a co-educational school based in Northumberland, offering high ratio bespoke placements for up to 51 students aged 6-16. We also welcome enquiries for home education and alternative provision from inside and outside of the county. At the heart of our school is a commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. We focus on building positive relationships, supporting academic progress, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning.
Our Approach

A child whose behaviour pushes you away is a child who needs connection more than anything else.

At our school, we believe that true growth happens when every child is supported not just academically, but personally and socially. Our values, Resilience, Empathy, Self-awareness, Positivity, Excellence, Communication, and Teamwork, are at the heart of everything we do.

We encourage our students to bounce back from challenges with courage, to care deeply for others, to know and trust themselves, and to approach life with optimism. Through clear communication, collaboration, and a drive for excellence, we empower every child to thrive as confident, compassionate individuals who are ready to make a positive impact in the world.

Education
Tailored to Every Child

Every child is unique, their education should be too.

Our vision is to deliver the right education, at the right time, tailored to each child’s individual needs and potential.

We strive to build a nurturing community where every child is seen, heard, and valued as the unique individual they are.

We are passionate about reawakening curiosity and inspiring those who may have felt left behind — bringing learning to life in meaningful, engaging ways.
