Frewen College is an independent day and boarding school for girls and boys between the ages of 7 and 19, with dyslexia and associated special educational needs such as dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and speech, language and communication needs.
The school is set in listed gardens that were originally laid out in 1681, and include the oldest walled gardens in Sussex. They incorporate an arboretum (with the Lady Jane Frewen bluebell walk), a Jacobean bowling green and a topiary chess garden, and are opened each year under the National Garden Scheme, and for the local Hospice.
Beyond the gardens pupils benefit from 60 acres of playing fields and grounds, and they have secure access to another 100 acres of ancient deer park for cross-country runs, orienteering and nature rambles.
Although benefiting from a rural location, uniquely they are within just an hour of London, Gatwick Airport and the Channel Tunnel, and able to access Eurostar services at Ashford International Station. They are the closest Dyslexia Specialist Provision school to the Continent.
The large towns of Hastings, Ashford and Tunbridge Wells are all close by, together with the historic small towns of Rye, Battle and Tenterden.
