So watch this space, or email admissions@frensham.org to be the first to hear the news. A nurturing nursery & preschool in Farnham for children aged 3 to 4 Join us for our Fireflies First Birthday open morning on Friday 5th June! SIGN UP HERE The new Fireflies Nursery at Frensham Heights is here! Welcome to Fireflies Nursery, a vibrant and nurturing early years setting nestled within the beautiful grounds of Frensham Heights School in Surrey. We are now open year round (48 weeks) and if you need a longer day or flexible hours, we are open 7.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday. We also accept 15 & 30 hours funding. Our new hours and options are now available. See Nursery fees . Visit us We'd love to show you around. CONTACT ADMISSIONS NURSERY FEES OPEN EVENTS OPENING TIMES The Fireflies Our youngest learners may be small, but they are a big part of life at Frensham Heights. In Fireflies Nursery and Preschool, children are encouraged to follow their curiosity, explore freely and play with freedom. It’s here that their sense of wonder grows and their love of learning first takes flight. Fireflies is an education that keeps imagination alive and curiosity glowing. Children learn that their thoughts matter, their voices are heard and that school is a place filled with joy, kindness and adventure. From Little Learners to Confident Explorers Our Fireflies are fully part of the Frensham community. They use the same beautiful facilities, eat in the same dining hall and perform on the same stage as our older students. They are known, valued and included at every step and this is how their confidence starts to grow and blossom. We celebrate individuality. Our skilled Early Years Team uses a Planning in the Moment approach, responding to children in real time and turning their ideas into meaningful learning. Every activity is designed to be engaging, playful and purposeful. A child fascinated by Bonfire Night might find themselves exploring light and shadow, mixing hot and cold colours, listening to new sounds or even visiting the photography darkroom. No doubt then all topped off with marshmallows at the Forest School fire pit! Our practitioners provide holistic teaching and coverage across all EYFS areas: Personal, Social & Emotional Development Communication & Language Physical Development Literacy Mathematics Understanding the World Expressive Arts & Design A Day at Fireflies Nursery & Preschool Our days are shaped around the children - their interests, their energy and their ideas. With Forest School and outdoor adventure, creative arts and specialist sessions in French, PE, Music, Drama and Dance, every day brings something new. Whether they’re climbing trees, painting masterpieces or visiting our friendly chickens, ducks and goats, Fireflies children enjoy a world full of discovery and a wide variety of unique experiences. Pastoral Care Just like every Frensham child, our Fireflies are recognised as individuals, each with their own pace, passions and personality. Our Early Years team knows each child deeply and thoughtfully adapts to their needs, ensuring every day is meaningful, enriching and full of warmth. Frensham Heights is built on mutual respect. Staff model kindness, patience and genuine attentiveness, creating a culture where every child is heard and valued. With small class sizes and excellent ratios, children have the space to grow, thrive and become confident, joyful and excited learners. Transitioning into Reception Class from Fireflies We don’t want our children to grow-up too quickly and therefore use both Reception and Year 1 as time to transition happily and comfortably from the Fireflies space. Planning and Play in the Moment is still a massive part of our Reception class and the start of Year 1 and gradually this becomes more interspersed with learning moments of phonics, number work and increasing exploration of specific projects from our Junior School Curriculum. Our Fireflies Team Our EYFS staff are knowledgeable, creative and highly qualified, from Level 2 practitioners to postgraduate specialists. They thrive on children’s imagination and energy, creating a learning environment that is playful, stimulating and full of life. Capturing the Journey – Famly We use Famly to create a rich, personal record of every child’s learning. Photos, videos and diary entries allow parents to stay connected to their child’s experiences, from first steps in the Nursery all the way through Preschool and into their primary education. Updated weekly, this journal strengthens the vital home–school relationships and celebrates each child’s unique journey. Outdoor Adventure Our trained forest leaders introduce children to the magic of outdoor learning. With freedom to explore, take small risks and discover the world around them, children develop confidence, curiosity and self-awareness. Every adventure is carefully designed to match their age, stage and sense of wonder. Step into a world of wonder at Fireflies Nursery! Curious about where your little one can truly shine? Come and experience the magic of Frensham Fireflies firsthand. Discover how we offer everything you'd expect from a nurturing nursery setting... and so much more! Fireflies Nursery is open all year round (48 weeks), from 7:30am to 6:30pm. Our highly trained staff are passionate about encouraging your child's growth and development. Our friendly on-site chickens and goats offer a truly special learning experience! Specialist teaching in French, Drama, PE, Music, Dance, and Art. Nutritious lunch and snacks are all provided and prepared fresh onsite, plus breakfast and tea for those longer days. Famly updates will show you their daily discoveries and adventures. Wider school facilities offer exciting opportunities in sport, performing arts, and more!

One of the real differences about Frensham is our open, equal environment. There is no forced deference or demanded respect. We are all in this together. A strong basis of mutual respect and equality creates an innovative, lively place to work.

We have one class per year group from Nursery up to Year 3 with small numbers to ensure individual attention. This splits into two classes per year group in Years 4, 5 and 6 with up to 18 per class. In Years 7 and 8, there are usually three tutor groups per year with 16 or 18 students in each. In Year 9, there are four tutor groups. The GCSE and A Level class sizes vary depending on the popularity of student subject choices. 02 What clothes can students wear? We don’t have a uniform, we just ask our students to dress for purpose. Students are free to express their individuality through their clothes as long as it doesn’t interfere with their school day or cause any distraction or offence. Please also ensure that your child has sensible footwear, including waterproof or walking boots and everyday shoes. 03 Can students have bicycles on site? Yes, from Year 7 – please make sure it is insured and in good working order with a strong lock. All students who have a bicycle at school are asked to sign a Bike Contract, which states the basic expectations on safe and considerate use of bicycles in and around school. Apart from those in the Sixth Form, all students need to wear a bicycle helmet. 04 Can students bring medication to school? All medications, including over-the-counter medications, must be handed to the Health Centre on arrival for safe keeping. 05 Do students need a school bag and stationery? Yes, please make sure the bag is suitable for students to carry their books around our vast site. Please also bring a pencil case, pencils, pens, erasers, colouring pencils, etc. It's a good idea to name all personal items. 06 What proportion of students board? We offer boarding from Year 7 upwards - roughly 25% of the students board either as full, weekly or flexi 3 day boarders. Where we have space, students are welcome for an 'occasional night' boarding as well. This should be booked with the boarding house. During the school week there is no differentiation between day and boarding students. 07 How do you handle discipline? Our disciplinary measures are based on mutual respect and self-discipline. We use discussion rather than detention and set targets for changes in behaviour. Depending on the nature of the situation, discussions will occur between the student/s and their teacher or with the Head of School, Deputy Head or Head and if the situation escalates disciplinary sanctions may be used. Aggressive language, shouting and detentions are not used by any staff at Frensham. 08 Can my child take part in competitive sports? We have over 450 sporting fixtures each year for students who love competitive games. If you want your children to love sport, love going to matches and know how to win or lose well, then that’s what they’ll get here. As well as the main sports, we also offer mountain biking, high ropes, surfing trips, hill walking, rock climbing. At the end of the day, our goal is for students to be fit and healthy. A message from the Director of Support for Learning If your child has had a previous or current specialist teacher, speech and language therapist or occupational therapist’s report, can you please ensure that we have this information in the Support for Learning Department. Equally, I would be grateful if you could please send in a copy of any Educational Psychologist’s report that you may have for your child. These reports are vital in informing class and subject teachers of relevant needs. - Beverley Wrigglesworth Director of Support for Learning A message from the Head of Boarding Full, weekly, 3 day flexi and occasional boarding are available to all our students from Year 7 upwards. Occasional boarding is adhoc on a first come, first serve basis - 2 days equivalent per week/per term for Years 7-9 and 1 day for Years 10 and up. The occasional boarding rate is £87.60 per night. We also offer a two week boarding experience to day students once in their time at the school. The cost for this is £600. -Sian Owens Head of Boarding A message from the Frensham Heights Library Find amazing people: come to the library. This busy environment has a full-time librarian and is found in a light and airy skylit, recently refurbished gable space of Flottage.

You will receive an email from our admissions team detailing your arrival times for the start of term in September.

You can always contact the school office on hello@frensham.org or call 01252 792561. 03 What if we're arriving from overseas?

No, all medications, including over-the-counter medications, must be handed to the Health Centre or house staff for safe keeping. 08 Can boarders do their own laundry? Yes, each boarding house has its own laundry area as some students prefer to wash their own clothes rather than using the school laundry, but they will need to bring their own washing tablets. 09 Can boarders have pocket money? Yes, it is a good idea to leave a sensible amount of cash with house staff to cover your child’s individual requirements during the term. Please check with your child’s housemaster for a guide as to how much. You can also arrange for your child to have a bank account locally – our Accounts Office can help with this if necessary once your child has started in September. 10 What forms should we have filled in? If you have not already done so, please can you ensure that you let us have the following completed forms (all of which can be downloaded here): • The standard weekend arrangement form • The single consent form • The taxi form 11 What is the Boarders' Weekend? The Boarders’ Weekend is held on the first weekend of term: from Friday evening through to Sunday. We do expect all boarders, current and new, to remain in school for this weekend as it has proved an excellent way to help children settle in, make friends and get used to their surroundings. Please email Sian Owens if you have any queries (sianowens@frensham.org).

Hear a few words from Andrew Fisher, our Head, about his 15 years heading up Frensham Heights and his return to Frensham to pave the way for our incoming Head, Ben McCarey. WELCOME Welcome to Frensham I am honoured and humbled to be leading the Frensham Heights community as it enters its second century. I am part of this community both as Head and as a parent and my family is incredibly excited to begin our lives within this wonderful and unique school. As a parent, I want my children to grow up being open minded and willing to embrace new experiences; I want them to be free to explore their own paths and experience the beauty and joy which exist in our world (without being naive to its many flaws). Most importantly, I want them to learn within a community of individuals who understand the importance of kindness, compassion and optimism. As a teacher, I believe that a traditional, linear, education system does not adequately prepare children for the world they will inherit. This world is a rapidly changing, uncertain and, sometimes, scary place. If an education only equips children with an armoury of facts and knowledge and the ability to pass exams, but it doesn't furnish them with the ability to think creatively, critically and empathetically, then we have failed them. A Frensham education is one which ensures our children are well qualified and well educated and, most importantly, free to be kids in a world where we all grow up too quickly. Ben McCarey

“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes…” Witches whisper prophecies. A crown beckons. Ambition ignites. This Is My Theatre Company returns with their critically acclaimed, edge-of-your-seat adaptation of Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy, Macbeth. Back by popular demand after sell-out runs and a triumphant Brighton Fringe season, this visceral production explodes onto the stage with music, malice, and murder most foul. Witness the descent into madness as ambition consumes a warrior, fueled by supernatural forces and a thirst for power. What price will be paid for a fleeting taste of kingship? Ambition. Betrayal. Murder. Experience Macbeth like never before. From the haunting whispers of the witches to the final, tragic downfall, experience the full power of Macbeth in this captivating live production. “Of all the Macbeths I’ve encountered… this might just be the most evocative… and most thrilling.” – Fringe Guru, ***** TWO PERFORMANCES.

This is the power of live theatre, and for GCSE and A-Level students studying Macbeth, it's an absolute game-changer. A live performance offers: * Immersive Understanding: Theatre transcends the page, offering a visceral connection to the play's themes of ambition, guilt, and fate. Students don't just read about madness; they witness it unfold before them. * Dynamic Interpretation: Every production offers a unique lens through which to view Macbeth. Students gain exposure to diverse interpretations, sparking critical thinking and enriching their own analyses. * Linguistic Resonance: Hearing Shakespeare's language spoken aloud unlocks its power and beauty in a way that reading alone cannot. The rhythm, the imagery, the sheer poetry—it all comes alive on stage. * Emotional Impact: Theatre is an emotional experience. Students connect with the characters' struggles on a human level, deepening their understanding of the play's profound themes.
