Zrp High School is a private boarding school owned & run by the Zimbabwe Republic Police. The school was established in 2001 in Hatcliffe Harare but officially opened its doors to the first batch of students on February 3, 2003.
The school was set up by the then Commissioner of Police, Augustine Chihuri as a means to curb the inconveniences to children of Police force members when their parents are transferred to a different province.
Despite it being built to mainly cater for police force children, it is also open to non-police force members' children.
However, school fees are pegged differently for both groups with the latter paying close to double of the former considering their parents contributed towards the construction of the school through deductions from salaries.
It is also quite difficult for non-Police children to get places. For instance, in 2024 the school only enrolled 23 non Police children.
The school also recently updated mattresses and maintains a functional geyser system, although they plan to introduce a bucket system in winter to manage hot water use.
Zrp High School Pass Rate
In 2024, ZRP High School achieved impressive pass rates for both O and A levels. The O level pass rate stood at 96.8%, placing it among the top-performing schools in the country. Similarly, the A level pass rate was noteworthy at 94.6%, showcasing consistent academic excellence.
Looking back to 2020, ZRP High School maintained a strong academic performance with an O level pass rate of 96.58%. This consistency highlights the school's commitment to maintaining high educational standards over the years.
In previous years, ZRP High School also demonstrated strong results. For instance, in 2017, the school was noted for its robust academic performance, particularly at the A level. The pass rates in these earlier years set a solid foundation for the continued success observed in recent examinations.
Zrp High School Motto/Slogan
The school's motto is Making Future Leaders.

Around 700 students are enrolled at Zrp High School.The school offers 10 subjects at Oโ Level and arts, commercials and sciences at Aโ Level. In line with its founding vision to produce globally competitive products, French classes are offered with plans to introduce Chinese lessons well underway.
The school has also proven its mettle in extra-curricular activities as the institution has also scooped national and provincial honours in debate, public speaking, drama, chess and athletics over the years.
One top accolade that the school got was being crowned the 2013 National Debate on Climate Change winners, sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
