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.

The doctors hold a surgery at the Health Centre on Tuesdays at 2.15pm and Thursdays at 10.30am.

If your child needs to see a doctor at home during the holidays or at weekends, they should be seen as a temporary resident with a local GP. Please do not re-register your child as this will mean they are no longer registered at the school GP practice. Boarders requiring travel vaccines (after parental consent has been obtained) can be taken to the travel clinic at Holly Tree Surgery and any fee will be added to your school bill. Parents should inform the school nurses of any unscheduled vaccinations given by other centres to enable us to keep your child's vaccination records up to date.

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.
