The Holm Oaks will stand two metres high and will be trimmed into a ball shape which will measure one metre. There is one existing Holm Oak at Frewen, which can be seen in the knot garden. The picture on the right shows the view when the yews were fit and healthy. Part of the yew hedge, adjoining the college swimming pool, has also had to be replaced by a beech hedge. The height of this is unlikely to challenge our beech hedge which runs alongside the A28 road and is the tallest of its kind in the Southern Counties.
Much yew still remains in the college gardens and the situation is being closely monitored.
The Frewen senior football team has entered the inaugural Interoute Cup championship. This event is for special schools throughout the United Kingdom and is sponsored by Interoute. The patron is Gabby Yorath, a presenter for ITV sport. A bye in the first round means that our first match is against Ifield School in Kent and will be played at the Charlton Athletic training ground on March 22nd. The tie will be played over one leg and the championship final will be held at a top football venue in May.
