Pastoral Support
We want every pupil at Frewen to feel safe, happy and supported.
Each pupil has a form teacher who is responsible for their overall welfare and is the adult pupils would normally turn first to in the case of problems or concerns. This is also the person who would, in most cases, communicate with parents with regard to all aspects of welfare. In the Prep School, the form teacher is the person pupils spend most of their time with; and in the Senior School and Sixth Form, students will see their form tutor at least twice every day.
One of the aspects of Frewen College that makes it so special is the fact that it is a small school with corresponding class sizes, so there is a sense that everyone knows each other and is part of one big family.
There are excellent pupil/teacher relationships, and staff meet regularly to discuss pupils’ progress, welfare, concerns and successes.
Each pupil belongs to one of four houses named after famous dyslexics, which compete with each other in a number of areas.
There is a very active Student Council, with representation from all tutor groups in the Senior School and Sixth Form. Pupils are encouraged to organise events, to raise awareness of, or money for, their chosen charities. In the Prep School, pupils’ views and suggestions are sought and represented through the prefect system.
Regular assemblies provide an opportunity for pupils to present on a range of themes to the rest of the school, which increases their self-confidence and public speaking skills. Other assemblies celebrate pupil success, and the House Cup is awarded each week for amassing the largest number of good order marks.
