- DANCE | Frensham Heights
Dance is woven into life at Frensham Heights from the very beginning. From Nursery through to Year 9, every student experiences dance as part of their curriculum — developing not just technical skill, but creativity, confidence, and the ability to express themselves through movement. DANCE Join us for an A Level Discovery Workshop Dance is woven into life at Frensham Heights from the very beginning. From Nursery through to Year 9, every student experiences dance as part of their curriculum, developing not just technical skill, but creativity, confidence and the ability to express themselves through movement. From First Steps to the Stage. Our structured dance programme grows with your child. Curriculum dance in the early and middle years gives students a rich grounding in movement and expression, building a vocabulary of physical storytelling that stays with them for life. Dance at Frensham Dance is at the heart of our creative curriculum. From Nursery through to Year 9 , every student explores movement, expression and performance as part of their structured dance education - building confidence, creativity and physical literacy from an early age. This strong foundation leads naturally into GCSE Dance and A Level Dance qualifications for students who wish to pursue dance more seriously, making Frensham Heights one of the few schools to offer a truly continuous dance education from early years through to Sixth Form. Beyond the timetable, students can extend their passion through a vibrant range of extracurricular dance classes including ballet, street dance and commercial dance, ensuring every style and interest is catered for. Performance is central to the Frensham Heights dance experience. Our students perform on a fully professional stage at the Aldridge Theatre, gaining real-world experience of what it means to present to a live audience. This exposure to professional performance develops not only technical skill but also resilience, stagecraft and artistry - qualities that set our students apart. Whether a student is taking their first steps in dance or preparing for an A Level showcase, every performance opportunity is approached with ambition and care. We are immensely proud of our Arts Award programme, which is open to Sixth Form students with a passion for the performing arts. This award offers meaningful financial benefits alongside an exceptional enrichment programme designed to broaden horizons and deepen understanding of the professional arts world. Through direct engagement with professional dancers, our students gain invaluable industry insight, mentorship and inspiration that simply cannot be found in a classroom alone. It is a programme that reflects everything we believe about arts education at Frensham Heights -that great teaching, real experience, and genuine passion create artists who are ready for the world.

This year we are celebrating 100 Years of Frensham! Read more about our Centenary here. WHO WE ARE When looking at who we are, it’s also really important to look at where we came from. The things that make this school truly different were given to us by our founders 100 years ago and have not only stood the test of time, but are arguably more relevant now than ever before. CONTINUE READING OUR APPROACH One of our main goals is to put each student's learning into their own hands. They will learn to learn using the best methods for them – experimenting, exploring and collaborating – trying new things, getting things wrong and trying again. CONTINUE READING OUR BROAD CURRICULUM Our students explore an amazingly diverse timetable made up of mathematical and scientific, creative and performing, linguistic and literary, physical and technological, spiritual, moral, social and cultural subjects - all held in equal importance. CONTINUE READING THE FRENSHAM SPIRIT There is an energy. A feeling of happiness and calmness. It comes from all the children being comfortable in their own skins. With no prefects or head boys and girls, everyone is on a level playing ground. They can be who they are. CONTINUE READING BOARDING In our boarding houses, great emphasis is placed on the creation of a caring community which shares a philosophy based on mutual respect, enthusiasm and enjoyment of each other’s company and achievements.

REGISTER If you would like your child to take part in our assessment process, please register here. You will also receive invitations to school events throughout the year. REGISTER YOUR CHILD FLORENCE ANDREWS | OLD FRENSHAMIAN "The freedom given at Frensham, perhaps more than at other schools, helps students to be more ambitious and driven rather than the other way round. I think naturally humans want to learn – you look at toddlers and they want to learn to walk, they want to learn to talk – and I don't think that changes. The more regimented and stifling you make an educational environment, the more people resist it and decide they don't like learning. Frensham's really good at spotting what someone loves and what their talent is... and they follow that."

- Music | Frensham Heights
Music is an important part of our curriculum. We want to ensure that every child has the opportunity to listen, perform, explore and enjoy a wide range of music. MUSIC OUR MUSIC CURRICULUM Music is a set part of the curriculum from Nursery through Year 9. Students in these years will have at least one dedicated music lesson per week. The curriculum for these years has been recently redesigned to make it more diverse, more practical, more focussed on SMSC, and most importantly, more fun! We now have a dedicated Junior Music specialist teacher, who will focus on Nursery to Year 3 while the rest of our team will share the teaching of Years 4 – 13. Junior School students in Years 4 - 6 learn a new instrument each year: strings in Year 4, wind/brass in Year 5 and ukulele/piano in Year 6, with our specialist instrumental teachers providing tuition in small groups. There is now more of a focus on Music Production and the use of sequencing software in Key Stages 2 and 3, so that our students can develop skills to prepare them for a future in the Music industry, if they wish. Once students leave Year 9, Music is no longer a compulsory part of the curriculum, but they have many options if they wish to continue. Within the Years 10 & 11 timetable, they can opt for our Music GCSE and at Sixth Form they can study Music A-Level and the new RSL Creative Music Industry course. REGISTER FOR PRIVATE MUSIC & LAMDA LESSONS Outside of the timetable, there are a wealth of opportunities both in a range of performances that run throughout the year (see below) and in our extensive extracurricular clubs, such as: Orchestra, Senior Choir, String Ensemble, Music Production Club, Funk/Soul Band, Composition Workshop, Junior Band Workshop, Junior School Singers and Flute Ensemble. Our aim is to incorporate Music into as many aspects of the school as possible. We have recently purchased a busking speaker to allow our musicians to perform on a whim and there is a jam piano (kindly painted by Year 7 Art students) available outside the Aldridge Theatre. We have also secured a Classical Spotlight at the beginning of each series of Morning Talks which run throughout the year. The Music Department is buzzing with student band rehearsals, and our newly purchased drum kits and amps are getting a lot of use. There are now three rooms that are plug-and-play ready for jamming, and the studio is up and running for recording.

Children in Years 7-9 have three hours a week - fine art, ceramics and design & technology. There are four GCSE and A Levels offered - Fine Art, Graphic Communication, Photography and 3D Design CREATIVE ARTS Enter Frensham's Art & Design Centre and be captivated. It's more than just exceptional facilities - it's a celebration of every student's unique creative journey. Here, courage meets craft, and individual expression thrives. Step into Frensham's Art & Design Centre and prepare to be inspired. Beyond the state-of-the-art facilities, you'll discover a vibrant tapestry of student creativity. Here, every voice is celebrated, showcasing a diverse and often thought-provoking range of work. This isn't about following a formula; it's about fostering the courage to explore, experiment, and discover a unique artistic path. The Creative Arts at Frensham At Frensham Heights, Creative Arts are central to the school’s educational philosophy and are woven deeply into the curriculum from the earliest years through to Sixth Form. The Art & Design Centre, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, serves as a hub for cultivating individual expression, courage and experimentation . Students are encouraged to explore, investigate and develop their unique artistic voice rather than follow a formula-based programme. From Nursery onwards , students embark on a creative journey that builds foundational skills and enthusiasm; in Years 7–9 they engage in intensive weekly study across 2D art, ceramics and design technology, emphasising drawing, investigation and exploratory practice. As students progress to GCSE and A-Level options in Fine Art, Graphic Communication, 3D Design and Photography , they are supported to take increasing responsibility for their creative decisions, shaping intent and meaning within their work. They work in small classes that foster discussion, collaboration and personalised feedback. This approach reflects Frensham’s broader curricular aim to treat creative subjects equally with academic ones, nurturing confidence, critical thinking and a lifelong passion for the arts as part of a broad, thoughtful education.

- RESULTS | Frensham Heights
At Frensham Heights, we know exams are important and it's a chance for students to gain a real base of knowledge in subjects they enjoy, but we urge them - and their parents - to focus not on the exams, but on their development during the courses and the skills they'll gain for life beyond. RESULTS Exam results are testament to the hard work, creativity, and passion that our students – and teachers – have put into their subjects. Of course, exams are not the only benchmark of a great education. But we are proud to know that our distinctive style of education – with a focus on independent thinking, imagination, risk taking, and collaboration – actively contributes to exceptional academic outcomes. A-LEVEL RESULTS: 2025 A LEVELS Frensham Heights Celebrates Another Year of Success Frensham students have been celebrating the culmination of two years of exploration and study in their chosen A Level, BTEC and RSL subjects. They have balanced academic success with extracurricular activities, friendships and personal challenges. In true Frensham style, we saw strong results across our broad subject offering with students heading off to an equally diverse array of destinations. From Architecture to Musical Theatre and from English to Aerospace Engineering, the majority of our students achieved their first university course choice at institutions ranging from Kings College, London to the University of Creative Arts and Emerson University in the USA. Head Ben McCarey commented: "These students are leaving Frensham having grown into wonderful, kind and well-rounded human beings and I’m so excited to see what they do next, whatever their pathway. Our aim at Frensham is to take the emphasis away from results and place it on student engagement and enjoyment. This approach, alongside excellent academic and pastoral support, has consistently seen our students surpass expectations and find their own paths.” At a school like Frensham, achievement is so much more than success on results day. The progressive approach at Frensham is built not only on excellent teaching but also on strong teacher student relationships and an environment which allows students to breathe just that little easier. A LEVEL RESULTS 2025 - 2021 GCSE & BTEC RESULTS 2025 Frensham Heights School Celebrates Their GCSE Students’ Amazing Achievements Frensham Heights School is delighted to celebrate this year’s GCSE students, recognising not only their wonderful academic successes but the energy, resilience and individuality they have shown throughout their school journey, particularly with the significant impact of Covid on this year group. These young people embody the spirit of a progressive education, proving that when students are happy, respected and free to be themselves, they grow in confidence and achieve their best. The school is particularly proud of the way students have balanced their studies with the many other passions that make them who they are. From excelling in sport and the performing arts to navigating the challenges of modern life, they have shown maturity, creativity and determination. Their ability to maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life has been as important as the grades they have achieved. These students leave with more than qualifications, they leave with the skills, confidence and sense of self needed to thrive in a changing world. Ben McCarey, Head of Frensham Heights, said “The thing which makes Frensham Heights so special is that we have always known that the purpose of education is so much more than the results which students achieve. Whilst the grades our Year 11s have achieved this year are amongst the best in the school’s history and are, by any measure, exceptional, they are the happy by product of a successful education rather than its core purpose. Whether they are staying with us for Sixth Form or moving on to new adventures, these wonderful, warm, funny, compassionate and values driven young people will undoubtedly contribute to making their world a better place and we could not be prouder of them for that.” GCSE & BTEC RESULTS 2025 - 2021
