A place of
possibility

We are Derwen.

A specialist college for young adults (aged 16–25) with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

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.

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.
