Farleigh College Accommodation and Facilities

Farleigh College Mells is set in five acres of beautiful Somerset countryside. The main building, a grade II listed Queen Anne house accommodates all the residential units, kitchen and dining room and administrative offices. The majority of the educational facilities are located within the grounds. Bath is only 12 miles away and we are 80 minutes by train from London Paddington.

 

Accommodation is mainly through single room accomodation. All students have access to a lounge area for TV and video/DVD as well as facilities for making drinks and snacks. We have three separate living areas and an independent unit within the school, together with purpose built accommodation in Stoke St.Michael and Shepton Mallett.

 

Collett Avenue – this house offers single bedroom accommodation, with large living accommodation next to the park and close to the centre of Shepton Mallett.

 

Waters Edge - this new accommodation block offers single bedrooms, often with en-suite and independent cooking facilities. Students who board here are often encouraged to live more independently and are supported with learning life skills.

Tallowood - caters for some of our younger pupils in a large house on the outskirts of Shepton Mallett with a single bed accommodation and  the lounge area opens up into a private garden.

Silbury and Avebury Unit s are at the main house –they  provide accommodation for our older students. The staff are experienced in supporting the young people with the anxieties that are specific to this age group, including assisting them with revision and preparation for coursework and examinations.

Avalon Unit at the main house – accommodates our female students within a separate unit that is both safe and secure.
