Newbury Manor School, formerly Farleigh College, is a mainly residential special school for pupils with Asperger syndrome, situated at Newbury, near Mells, seven miles from Frome, in the English county of Somerset. It previously occupied Farleigh House at Farleigh Hungerford, a few miles to the north, from which it took its former name. The school is co-educational, fully approved by the Department for Education, and accepts students between the ages of 11 and 19. A team of some ninety members of staff caters for approximately 48 students,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Farleigh College )〕 of whom about one fifth are girls, and the school also accepts part-time students. Newbury Manor School is run by the Priory Group. It also holds the Investors in People Award. ==History== 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.〔Bradshaw, Stephen (2012) ''Asperger's Syndrome-that Explains Everything''. Jessica Kingsley Publishers, London. ISBN 978-1-84905-351-8. p. 16〕 The name of Farleigh College was kept after September 2000, when the school moved to Newbury House, near Mells,〔 an 18th-century Grade II * listed country house. 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Newbury Manor School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
