Frewen College

Our location is quite simply outstanding, providing a safe, calm and enriching environment for our pupils. We are based in the beautiful Wealden countryside, on the borders of Kent and Sussex, just on the outskirts of the historic village of Northiam.

The school is based in and around a Grade 1 listed Jacobean mansion which was the family home of the Frewen family for over 300 years. The Prep School is based in a Grade 2 listed Queen Anne farmhouse, and even the Art and Design block has its own Grade 2* listing. These historic buildings are supplemented by a number of modern purpose-built facilities.

The school is set in listed gardens which were originally laid out in 1681, and include the oldest walled gardens in Sussex. The gardens also incorporate an arboretum (with the Lady Jane Frewen bluebell walk), a Jacobean bowling green and a topiary chess garden. They are opened each year under the National Garden Scheme, and for the local hospice.

Beyond the gardens, our pupils benefit from 60 acres of playing fields and grounds, and we have secure access to another 100 acres of ancient deer park for cross-country runs, orienteering and nature rambles.
