Frewen is not a traditional school with extra help for dyslexia - the support is provided in all lessons, all of the time. We have a typical maximum class size of eight pupils, and there is often a second adult, or Learning Support Assistant, in the classroom as well.

English and Literacy are at the core of all our work at Frewen. Our most important responsibility is to remove the fear of the written and spoken word and give our pupils the skills and the confidence to read and write competently. 

In the brilliantly eloquent words of a recent leaver:

When diagnosed with severe dyslexia, the prospect of confronting this condition can be daunting to the best of us. Frewen College helped me when no other school would. Before Frewen I couldn’t read and I had very poor communication skills both written and linguistically. But due to Frewen’s excellent teachers and speech therapists I have been given the gift of literacy. I now embark to Keele University to read History and Politics. None of this would have been possible without Frewen or my parents
