Derwen College - Specialist college in Shropshire for young people with SEND

We are Derwen.

Our positive and empowering culture gives students the confidence and experience to live life their own way.

There are no ‘typical’ students at Derwen College. For us, there is so much joy to be found in difference.

We tailor our pathways and programmes to fit your needs.

We look forward to welcoming you, in-person, to Open Day events at each of Derwen’s sites.

Derwen College was established in 1927.

Our founder, Dame Agnes Hunt, started the college as a culmination of her life's work.

If you are thinking of applying to come to us, or you are ready to apply, here you will find all the information you need.

Short Breaks offers adults with learning disabilities, and associated needs, the opportunity to enjoy an individually tailored short break.

Our vibrant community works together to create a relaxed and positive environment that will help you prepare for real life.

You will learn employability skills and independence skills so you can find work and live independently in the future.

We give you the space to develop hands on, practical experience and knowledge.
