Meet Our Founder
Ernest Koomson began his education at St. Martin de Porres Preparatory School and continued at Aggrey Memorial Zion Secondary School. In March 1998 he moved to the United Kingdom, where he completed an Access course at Waltham Forest College and then progressed to the University of East London to pursue a degree in Computing for Business.
Drawing on his academic training in computing and business, Mr. Koomson developed a strong interest in how technology can support learning and effective school management. He has combined this technical and commercial understanding with a deep commitment to early years education, which led him to found Hills and Springfield School (HSS) in January 2021. HSS opened shortly after the COVID-19 lockdowns with 17 students and a mission to provide high-quality, inclusive childcare and education.
