Welcome to Frewen College,

'The Dyslexia Specialists'

Frewen College is a truly unique school for children with Specific Learning Difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other associated speech and language and sensory integration problems.

Our specially trained staff create a supportive atmosphere in which children want to learn and believe they can succeed. We provide a happy and caring environment, where children are encouraged to develop their individual strengths, while learning to deal with their difficulties. The school is particularly “successful in promoting pupils’ self-confidence and enhancing their self-esteem”. (Ofsted, 2005).

Frewen provides day places for boys and girls aged from 5 to 16. We also offer fully flexible boarding for boys on site, and can help to arrange for girls to board with host families. We have the widest age range of any 'Specialist Provision' school in the UK. About half our pupils are funded by their LEA and half are private. We also have pupils funded by the MOD and the Foreign Office. We welcome international students but are unlikely to be able to accept children who are not fully proficient in English. 

We are happy to accept new pupils at any stage of the year. Please see our News page for details of Open Mornings.
