Farleigh College Overview
Farleigh College Frome is a specialist residential school for young people aged 10 to 17 with Asperger's Syndrome and associated disorders. Our pupils often have many strengths and considerable potential but their progress may be impaired by the difficulties experienced by young people with Asperger's Syndrome.
