Frewen College

Special needs catered for

Specific Learning Difficulties (dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia) as primary need.

Specialist facilities

We teach the full National Curriculum (except modern languages), with a focus on literacy and numeracy and a maximum class size of eight. All classroom staff are trained to Level 3 in Dyslexia by the British Dyslexia Association during their first year. Each pupil has an Individual Education Plan, and 1:1 and small group interventions are is provided on an individual basis as necessary. In recent years the school has won a number of prestigious awards.

Support services provided

Our multi-disciplinary team includes Speech and Language therapists, Occupational Therapists, and a Student Support and Family Liaison office, all provided on site. We have a mixture of boys and girls, boarders and day pupils, and privately-funded and LA-funded pupils.

Home school links

The school encourages close involvement of parents from the outset and welcomes parental contact throughout the year. Regular written reports and assessments are provided. Open days are held throughout the year, and termly reports sent to all parents.

General environment

The school is based in the grounds of a fine Grade I listed Jacobean mansion, in the heart of the Wealden countryside on the Kent/Sussex borders. Set in 60 acres of parkland and gardens, the location provides a beautiful rural environment in which our pupils prosper.

Aims and philosophy

We treat every pupil as a unique individual and tailor our approach to suit the individual's needs. We build self-confidence by establishing and developing pupils' strengths, while tackling their specific learning difficulties. We encourage pupils to develop respect for themselves, for others and for their environment. All leavers go on to further or higher education, training, or employment.
