 There was a Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, and some pupils attended courses at Trowbridge College.In July 1996, Ravenscroft School was closed, and most of its pupils and staff transferred to a new educational institution on the same site called Farleigh College.In September 2000 this moved to Newbury House near Mells, Somerset, and for the next year the Farleigh Hungerford site was operated as the "Farleigh Further Education College", which continued the education of some of the older students at Farleigh House until a five-year lease on it expired in September 2001.
