Newbury Manor School is a specialist education school for pupils with an autistic spectrum diagnosis, situated in Newbury, near Mells, seven miles from Frome, in the English county of Somerset.

The school is co-educational, fully approved by the Department for Education, and supports up to 65 students between the ages of six and 19.[1] Newbury Manor School is run by Aspris Children’s Services.

History

The school has its origins in

Asperger's, and at the outset it had a five-year lease on Farleigh House.[2]

The name of Farleigh College was kept after September 2000, when the school moved to Newbury House, near Mells,[2] an 18th-century Grade II* listed country house.[3][4] 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

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
