Overview

Rosa House is built around a very small cohort and a therapeutic response to education. The setting supports female pupils who may have experienced exploitation, within Educ8 Therapeutic Education's personalised and multidisciplinary model. Its purpose is not simply to deliver a timetable, but to reconnect learning, safety and progress around each young person's circumstances.

Full-time education is provided for up to four girls aged 11 to 18. Learning and attainment are personalised, with awards and qualifications arranged around the individual programme. Therapeutic interventions, safeguarding and re-engagement work are paired with life-enriching activities and a team drawn from more than one professional discipline.

Curriculum, teaching and learning, special educational needs, safeguarding and attendance policies frame the provision. The academic programme is individualised rather than built around a fixed subject grid or a school-wide results profile. Loren Knowles is headteacher.

Rosa House is girls-only and has no boarding provision. Its specialist pupil group, small scale and individualised programme are the defining facts. Those features explain why its educational model needs to be considered on its own terms.

Key points
Assessment route
Applications are made directly to the school. Check the school's own admissions pages for registration dates, entrance assessment stages, interviews, fees, scholarships and bursaries.
Places and demand
Published Year 7 place numbers and applicant-per-place data are not included in GIAS for this private-school seed profile.
Catchment
Private-school eligibility is not controlled by the local-authority grammar catchment model; check boarding, day-pupil, transport and any sibling or faith rules on the school site.
Results
Independent-school performance data is patchier in official releases, so GCSE and A-level comparisons should be checked against the school's published results.
