Welcome to Rowden House School

Our fantastic facilities are set in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside and is fortunate to have extensive grounds and woodlands, giving students a tranquil, spacious, accessible and safe environment in which to learn and live. The market town of Bromyard and the city of Worcester are close by.

Our collective knowledge and expertise enable us to guide our youngsters through long term programmes of formal and informal education and development.

We encourage all our students to develop a positive self image, promoting their ability to express their personal preferences through informed choice. This develops their confidence and enables them to realise their full potential and grow into happy and healthy adults.

Whilst I know that you will find the information in our prospectus interesting and informative, nothing gives you a better insight into the true ethos of the school and home than seeing it for yourself and we welcome you to visit us.
