Frederick Holmes School is a community special school catering for pupils with severe physical/ learning disabilities and those with profound and multiple needs aged 2-19.
It is a school where all children are valued and all staff strive to deliver an inspirational curriculum in a supportive and caring environment. We welcome children and their parents and carers into a friendly, hardworking school where respect for others, positive attitudes and independence are nurtured and each child is given the opportunity to flourish and reach their potential.
We are based in a fantastic purpose built building. We have excellent facilities to meet the needs of all our pupils including a hydrotherapy pool, rebound room, soft play and sensory rooms.
We would like to extend a very warm welcome to everyone who accesses this website. Whether you are looking for information on the curriculum, this week’s lunch menu, or term dates, you should find all the information you need.

It may have been a shorter week due to the bank holiday however our week at Freddie’s started with a fantastic visit from Immersive Experiences with their planetarium.
