Frewen College

“My daughter (who was too scared to speak about her academic results, let alone her future) now wants to take GCSEs that may lead to a career in architecture, law or politics. She regularly performs flute exam pieces, speaks or performs to large audiences with confidence that makes me know the school has a formula that works. If you want a school that understands your child’s needs, and who will genuinely work with you to develop the best from your child, then Frewen College ticks the box.”

“Over the past year my daughter has benefitted from the opportunity to experience a vast array of different activities during lessons and clubs including gardening, cookery, art, birdwatching, cricket, cross-country running, netball, swimming, Danish longball and - her favourite - archery (to name but a few!)”

“Pupils expressed that teachers are generous, helpful, calm, easy going, thoughtful and kind in their approach to learning as well as their relationship with them as individuals. They further commented that the school was giving them a ‘good’ education and they had friends, felt safe and able to get the help they need to make progress and learn. They stated that teachers explain if they are unsure, always being prepared to restate information recognising this is due to being able to give them more attention due to the small class sizes. As a result they are able to engage in their learning and experience success.”

“Frewen College has been the making of my son. It took a long drawn out battle to get the LEA to agree to let him go there, but finally it happened and it has been like winning the lottery. We are forever grateful for the wonderful school environment, the life-changing teaching and the very specific, small classes that are so appropriate for young people with the specific learning needs that my son has. The school has been a second home over the last seven years, and we are blessed that he was able to benefit and grow in such a nurturing and positive school. With encouragement, hard work and support every child is carefully led to reach their potential. My son would not be in the place he is now if it wasn’t for Frewen College. I firmly believe this.”

“It has been a joy and a source of great pride for me to watch my daughter’s transformation over her short time at Frewen. It is entirely due to the dedicated and patient teaching staff, the therapeutic and safe environment that is created, the time and thoughtfulness which is invested in every child. This time a year ago, my daughter had no future. Now we see a future full of opportunities for her and I can only say a massive thank you.”

The changes we and our family have observed in R, even in the short time he has been with you, have been nothing less than miraculous, and we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
