- PARENT REPRESENTATIVES | Frensham Heights
Frensham Heights Parent Voice is different from a PTA or traditional Parents Committee. Parent Voice is a team of elected parent volunteers dedicated to help support new and existing parents and collaborate with the school in an innovative and productive format. OUR PARENT REPRESENTATIVES PARENT REPRESENTATIVES Parent Year Representatives (Reps) are volunteer parents who play a key role in creating a welcoming, inclusive and vibrant parent community at Frensham Heights. Each year group has its own rep who is a friendly point of contact and helps parents stay informed, feel welcomed and connected to school life. They share useful information and reminders, support new families as they join the school, and help bring parents together through informal socials and events. They also play a wider role in supporting the school community, working collaboratively with staff, other Year Reps and Friends of Frensham, and occasionally helping to welcome prospective families at events such as open days. Parent Year Reps are an important link between families and the school, helping to ensure that every parent feels informed, supported and part of the community.
- WORKING AT FRENSHAM | Frensham Heights
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. WORKING AT FRENSHAM TEACHING STAFF As a progressive school, our teachers will find an exciting innovative opportunity to really engage with the students.

SUPPORT STAFF As a cohesive community, it is just as important that our support staff are onboard with the communal vision and ethos of the school. There are many events throughout the year, not to mention lunchtime everyday, where students, teachers and support staff come together. It's more than just a day job, but something that you can become passionately involved with.

From scientific innovation to social impact, from education to equality, each talk reinforced a shared belief that the future shines brightest when we lead with humanity. 2018 Andrew Fisher Andrew Fisher, former Headmaster of a progressive independent school, asks us to challenge the politicising of education. Why do we accept the constant assessing of our children? Why do we deny it is damaging them? Instead, we blame the increase in anxiety and mental health problems on their lack of robustness and grit.

Join us at the Frensham Foundation Ball Saturday 17th October, 7pm to midnight TICKETS & INFO WHO WE ARE A progressive day and boarding school, refreshingly different since 1925. 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. CONTINUE READING FIREFLIES Nursery & Preschool Our nursery environment keeps imaginations alive and curiosity glowing.

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."

- CHARITY & OUTREACH | Frensham Heights
Through charity and outreach opportunities, our students can step outside their bubbles, broaden their minds and make a real difference. CHARITY & OUTREACH Our students are very lucky to be given the opportunities they have - an amazing education and a safe, supportive environment. With this, we ask them to look beyond our comfortable bubble and commit to making a change - to making a difference. Whether that is fundraising for our partner schools in Malawi or teaching science and IT to local children - we can each find a way to make a difference. OUR SCHOOL PARTNERS MALAWI SCHOOLS TRUST We have had a wonderful, collaborative partnership with schools in Malawi for over a decade. The Frensham's partnership with schools in Malawi started in 2009 under the leadership of previous Head Andrew Fisher, when our charity efforts that year supported the All Saints School and the nearby AMAO Orphanage in Mtunthama, Malawi. This partnership has continued ever since and it benefits our students just as much as those in Malawi. Staff and students organise and fund trips to Malawi every other year. This gives our students, and staff, the opportunity to see not only how different - and hard - life can be for young people in Africa but also that they can make a very real difference to other people’s lives. And if young people believe they can make a positive impact in the world, they’ll grow into adults who do. Malawi Schools Trust was formed in 2019 to continue this work. Their main vision is that every child in Malawi should have an education. To attain this goal they will work carefully in partnership with local communities on projects that make this possible. One school at a time. At Frensham Heights, we will continue to visit and support our partner schools in Malawi. FIND OUT MORE MALAWI SCHOOLS TRUST HAPPY SPACE Happy Space is a preventative mental wellbeing organisation set up by a group of Old Frenshamians to protect, inspire and empower young people nationwide.. So many mental health issues are preventable with good wellbeing education. They're on a mission to get that education into curriculums nationwide. Their vision is a society free of mental health stigma where every young person has access to the basic toolkit they need to help look after their mental health in the transition to adulthood and beyond. Through their guidebooks, toolkits ad lesson plans, they are helping educators reach out to children at key points to give them the support and knowledge to improve their mental health for years to come HAPPY SPACE OUR OUTREACH PROGRAMMES One of the purposes of our broad curriculum is to give our students the opportunity to try lots of things and find where their passions lie. If we can then give them the opportunity to share their passions and interests with others while getting out into the community, that's even better. 1/1 BORDON JUNIOR SCHOOL Frensham Year 9 and 10 ICT students have been mentoring Year 5 children at Bordon Junior School. They are working with the children to learn coding using robots. ROWLEDGE SCHOOL Frensham Sixth Formers are creating various workshops in Drama, Dance, Languages, Art, Outdoor Ed and Wellbeing to deliver to Reception through Year 6 children at Rowledge School.

FARNHAM ASSIST Twice a month, we take a few students to host lunches and high teas with Farnham Assist. They help with serving and cleaning, but also socialise with the guests.

- FRENSHAM ARCH | Frensham Heights
For Frensham, the ARCH is a gateway, not only to learning, but to sharing more clearly with the wider world what has always mattered here: curiosity, creativity and a deeply human approach to education. ARCH (Academic Research Collaboration Hub) is Frensham Heights’ home for action research: a space where teachers explore, test and refine ideas that can enhance learning, wellbeing and the overall student experience. Rooted in the school’s values of creativity, individuality and kindness, ARCH brings together professional curiosity and evidence-informed practice so that innovation is thoughtful, purposeful and grounded in what works. For students, this means being part of a school that is always learning too. ARCH helps us think more deliberately about the habits and dispositions young people need to flourish. We view these habits and dispositions as skills for life: creativity, commitment, communication, independence, teamwork and problem-solving. For parents, it offers reassurance that Frensham’s distinctive ethos is paired with careful reflection and a commitment to doing what genuinely benefits children. As teachers, we know we work in a school where professional enquiry is valued, ideas are shared and innovation is supported. Over time, ARCH also reflects Frensham’s wider ambition to contribute confidently to educational thinking beyond the school.
