FREWEN COLLEGE

All pupils who enter the school are diagnosed as having specific learning difficulties and/ or associated educational needs. Most of them have encountered difficulties during their previous school experiences. Our team will do all they can to help pupils overcome their problems in the way that best suits each of them. Every pupil is seen as equal and individual with unique talents and abilities. Developing these talents is central to the education we provide. By providing a unique combination of curricular and pastoral support, Frewen College strives to provide the best possible education for every pupil. The education we provide allows each of them to believe in themselves, and to move on to become an included and contributing member of society.

We are small but perfectly formed! We have all the benefits of being a small rural school, but with teaching and sports facilities that many much larger schools would envy. Frewen College is one of the few such schools which is a charity run by an independent educational trust. This means that unlike most other specialist independent schools, every penny of fee income is invested in the children's education or in maintaining and improving the facilities available to our pupils. We welcome children with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia, as well as speech and language, and sensory integration difficulties. We also welcome a small number of children with Asperger's Syndrome, usually in combination with dyslexia or other SpLD. We welcome pupils aged between 8 and 16, one of the widest age ranges of any such school. We offer day and boarding places, and are now fully co-educational. Our number of girls increases each year and boarding numbers have doubled in the last four. After just one year of offering boarding places for girls we are having to increase our provision! We have a separate junior school which welcomes children aged from 8 to 11, and is located next to the senior school. Our staff
