We have recently launched a new programme of A-Level Discovery Workshops, offering students in Years 10 and 11 from local schools the chance to experience Frensham Heights Sixth Form first-hand and explore potential A-Level subjects in an open, supportive environment.
These afternoon workshops, running throughout the academic year, provide an authentic insight into life at Frensham Heights, with our distinctive ethos of individuality, mutual respect and creative freedom.
“At Frensham, we believe young people make their best decisions when they are encouraged to explore,” said Sara Acworth, Director of Marketing and Admissions. “Our Discovery Workshops give students the space to step into new subjects, meet our teachers and discover where their interests might lead.”
A Broad Programme of Workshops
The programme includes academic, creative, scientific and performing arts subjects, reflecting Frensham’s commitment to valuing every discipline equally.
Sessions include:
Psychology & Politics - 27th January 2026
PE - 2nd February 2026
Biology, Chemistry & Physics - 3rd March 2026
French, Spanish & English Literature - 26th March 2026
Drama - 28th March 2026 Dance - 18th May 2026
3D Design – 18th May 2026
All workshops are free and offer a practical, hands-on introduction to the subject, enabling students to experience Frensham’s approach to learning: relaxed yet purposeful, with an emphasis on curiosity, independence and personal growth.
An Authentic Experience of Sixth Form Life
Students attending the workshops will have the chance to work directly with teachers, use specialist facilities and gain a genuine sense of the school’s atmosphere. The sessions also provide an opportunity to explore the campus and meet future peers, helping them make informed decisions about their A-Level choices.
“We want our Sixth Formers to be happy and confident young people when they leave our care; a key part of that is making sure they make an informed choice with their A-level choices and their future pathways,” Charlie Bennett, Head of Sixth Form. “The Discovery Sessions provide an excellent chance to try before they commit.”
Booking Information
A-Level Discovery Workshops are open to non-Frensham students (Frensham Heights students have the opportunity to attend A Level lessons during Sixth Form week in Year 10).
