Frewen College

Frewen College is a thriving independent co‐educational day and boarding school for students aged 11–19 with dyslexia and associated specific learning difficulties. Founded in 1910, we believe we are the oldest dyslexia school in the world and have received multiple awards, including the ISA Award for Outstanding Provision for Learning Support.
We are CReSTeD‐registered and nationally recognised for our dyslexia expertise.

Our Community Outreach programme supports families and professionals beyond the school, and a strong CPD programme led by senior staff maintains excellence in specialist teaching.

Our pastoral care is built around dedicated tutors and mentors who help rebuild confidence and well-being for students who may have struggled in previous settings.

Set within 60 acres in Northiam, East Sussex near Rye, our campus includes an arboretum, historic walled garden, and the Grade I listed Brickwall House, which also accommodates our Boys’ Boarding House.

About Us

Additional facilities include a Learning Centre, Girls’ Boarding House, Wellbeing Centre, specialist classrooms, and outdoor sports amenities. Our Sixth Form, based in a nearby Grade II listed house, continues to grow.
We welcome both private, fee‐paying pupils and those funded by Local Authorities. Our roll is typically around 110 students, with a quarter boarding, a number we aim to grow. Some boarders join us from overseas, including the
USA, Africa, and Europe.

We maintain strong community links, working with the primary school, St Mary’s Church, and Northiam Cricket Club, hosting the village fireworks for the Northiam Bonfire Society, and supporting the Brickwall Music Society.
The school employs over 80 full and part‐time staff, many living within 30 miles, with some boarding staff based on‐site.

ISI inspected the school in 2023. Ofsted inspects boarding annually under the Social Care framework; the March 2024 inspection rated us ‘Good’ in all areas. Latest reports can be found on our website.
