WHY F R EWEN COL L EGE ?
Frewen College can provide the mix of support and independence that many students with
specific learning difficulties still need in their Sixth Form years.
Set in 60 acres of playing fields, gardens and grounds, with access to another 100 acres of
ancient parkland, there is space to grow, to develop, to flourish.
All our classroom staff, including Teaching Assistants, have specialist dyslexia training, and
the great majority have specialist qualifications. We have a comprehensive Therapy and
Wellbeing team including Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and a
Physiotherapist with training in sensory integration. We also benefit from the services of a
trained Counsellor.
Our average teacher/student ratio is maintained at better than 1 to 6, and one-to-
one support is available where appropriate.
We are immensely proud of our students. To quote our most recent Ofsted report “The
pupils’ behaviour is outstanding. Pupils are courteousto their peers and have positive
attitudes to learning.”
We take the pastoral side of our role just as seriously as the academic. All Sixth Formers
are assigned a mentor to support them in their school work, help with applications to Higher
Education, or CVs for jobs.
WE LCOME F ROM THE P R I NC I PA L
I am delighted to introduce you to this guide to Frewen College’s Sixth
Form.
Frewen has been providing outstanding educational opportunities and
support for young people with dyslexia and related learning difficulties
for many years, in its beautiful and historical setting in East Sussex.
Frewen College Sixth Form offers a range of individually-tailored
pathways for pupils with a wide range of abilities who are looking for
the combination of academic or vocational courses, additional support
with their literacy, dyslexia and/or related Specific Learning Difficulty,
and, if required, boarding.
Existing Frewen pupils have the opportunity to stay at the College and
build on the successes already achieved, in the familiar and supportive
environment, and with the teachers that they know, and who know
them.
However, the Sixth Form has proved equally popular and successful
with students from elsewhere, and we look forward to welcoming and
getting to know more of you in the future.
I hope this guide gives you some idea of the advantages of studying at
Frewen, and some of the possibilities on offer. You may have questions,
and the team at Frewen will be only too happy to answer these, or to
arrange for you to visit the College.
I look forward to meeting you at the College in the future.
Nick Goodman, Principal
