Newbury Manor School

The school has its origins in Ravenscroft School, founded at Yelverton, Devon, in the 1930s and later moved to Beckington Castle and then to Farleigh House at Farleigh Hungerford, near Bath. This began as a prep school, but in the 1970s it found a new role as a special school specializing in teaching dyslexic children, and in 1996 it was re-organised as Farleigh College, a new institution which took over its staff, pupils, and premises. Farleigh College was launched in September 1996 with forty children, of whom thirty were dyslexic and ten had been diagnosed with Asperger's, and at the outset it had a five-year lease on Farleigh House. The name of Farleigh College was kept after September 2000, when the school moved to Newbury House, near Mells, In 2013, the name of the secondary school was changed to Newbury Manor School, while the "Farleigh College" identity was kept for the later years. ==Farleigh Further Education College==

Originally launched in September 2000 on the Farleigh House site to meet the needs of young people with Asperger's, a year later Farleigh Further Education College moved to Frome. Students go to a mainstream college during the day, choosing their course during their enrolment before the start of year one. Most students go to Wiltshire College in Trowbridge, where there is a base room solely used by Farleigh Further Education College. Other college choices are Strode College and Bath College. ==See also==
