September 2025 marks 100 years of Frensham Heights, a whole century of doing things a little differently. What once felt bold, even revolutionary back in 1925, now feels simply right. A way of learning and living that puts children at the heart of everything. This year, we’re taking time to celebrate all that makes Frensham, Frensham. 1/10 Our Centenary September 2025 marks 100 years of Frensham Heights, a whole century of doing things a little differently. What once felt bold, even revolutionary back in 1925, now feels simply right. A way of learning and living that puts children at the heart of everything. This year, we’re taking time to celebrate all that makes Frensham, Frensham. We’d love you to be part of it. Come along to one of our Centenary Events, share the story of an Old Frenshamian for our 100 OFs campaign, or explore the beautiful gifts created by our community in the Centenary Gift Shop. However you join in, you’ll be helping to celebrate 100 years of curiosity and creativity. There’s something special about how Frensham began. Three women, full of courage and vision, wanted to do things differently, to break free from the stiff traditions of Victorian education. They chose this beautiful spot, with its wide skies and rolling Surrey Hills, as the place to bring their ideas to life. They knew that children need to move, to explore, to imagine, to ask questions and to be truly heard. That spirit of freedom and curiosity still shapes us today, just as it did when Frensham first opened its doors in 1925. Our Founders Frensham Heights was founded in 1925 by educationalists Beatrice Ensor and Isabel King with the aid of a generous benefactor, Edith Douglas-Hamilton. As Joint Headmistresses, they were passionate about offering an alternative style of education with the child at its heart. A school and a community based on mutual respect, tolerance and generosity of spirit which would educate the whole child – mind, body and spirit. Read More Centenary Events Our Centenary year will be filled with moments to remember, a whole calendar of celebrations running from September through to July. The 1925 Student Day launched celebrations in September and we’ll close with our Centenary Founder’s Day on 4th July 2026. Along the way, there’ll be plenty of favourite traditions like Fireworks Night and the Christmas Fair plus a whole-school Centenary Sports Festival in the summer and our annual musicals and plays that bring the community together, time and time again. There is a series of Reunions for OFs during the Autumn Term. Please head to the OF website to find out more.

Each of our boarding houses has its own dedicated residential team and, as the children grow up through the school, there is a natural progression of increased freedom matched with increased responsibility. Boarding at Frensham, like the whole school, is built on a very firm basis of mutual respect. BOARDING OPTIONS YEARS 7 TO 9 YEARS 10 & 11 SIXTH FORM INTERNATIONAL ADMISSIONS COEDUCATIONAL BOARDING All our boarding houses are proudly co-educational, reflecting our belief in the social, personal and educational benefits of boys and girls living and learning together. Co-educational boarding helps students grow into confident, empathetic, and independent young adults while forming positive, respectful relationships. Boys and girls enjoy thoughtfully arranged bedrooms and separate sleeping corridors, giving them privacy and personal space while feeling safe, comfortable and respected. Clear routines and expectations support a secure, caring environment where every student can thrive. Students also come together in welcoming communal spaces for socialising, recreation and study. These shared areas encourage friendships across genders and year groups, nurture communication and emotional intelligence and foster a true sense of belonging in our diverse and supportive boarding community. OUR BOARDING COMMUNITY Our boarding houses are vibrant, close-knit communities, more like extended families where students share conversations, laughter and moments of excitement balanced with calm reflection. While nothing can replace home, our houses provide a warm, welcoming environment built on genuine care. With pastoral care at the heart of every house, we foster nurturing, inclusive boarding communities where mutual respect, shared achievements and student wellbeing are central. Students are encouraged to form positive relationships, develop empathy and tolerance, and build lasting friendships.

THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM Friday 27th May, 2022 CLICK TO NAVIGATE SCHOOL MESSAGES SCHOOL EVENTS THIS WEEK AT SCHOOL SPORTS REPORT FRENSHAM KITCHEN NEXT WEEK A MESSAGE FROM RICK CLICK FOR RICK'S MESSAGE A MESSAGE FROM NICK OT Dear Parents, I'm writing to you from St David’s in Wales on the Year 6 trip with adventure company TYF. This trip has been a totally fantastic adventure for the children and has given them access to so many unique, fun and challenging experiences. It has also been an endless chance for personal development, self-challenge, teamwork and friendship building for all of the children. These are all skills that are key for our Frensham children and areas we will be focusing on in the Junior School as we move forward across this term and into 2023. I’d like to thank Honesty, Kelly and the Junior School staff for managing things while we have been away and believe the strength of knowledge, skills and expertise across the school has held us in very strong place and gives us the opportunity as a school to be adventurous in the experiences we offer as a Junior School. I’d also like to say a thank you to all of you for coming to the first showcase event of the Summer Term, which feedback suggests was a great success. We hope that it gave you the chance as parents to re-engage with your children’s learning space and to see many of the inspiring outcomes your children are creating and producing. The next showcase event will be the End of Year Celebration Assembly on 7th July in the Theatre (after morning drop off) and don’t forget Founders' Day on Saturday 2nd July. If you have never been to Founders' Day before then I’d describe it as a festival-style celebration of Frensham where we get everyone together as a whole school to celebrate this Spirit of Togetherness. Next week gives everyone a circuit breaker of time to recharge and get ready for a jam-packed 5 weeks of learning, action and further unique events and trips. You may also be celebrating the Jubilee in some capacity, so please do have fun and enjoy your week. Nursery to Year 5 finished their week with a special assembly led by Kelly today with a Jubilee focus.

You can dip in and out as you like, but it would be a fun way to become more involved in this great Frensham community. If you are interested please click here to email Gayle .

We called on some of our in-house expertise to deliver these and it was good to see the students engage with the different topics and ask some brilliant questions to help them understand more. Carys spoke to them first about how to develop a healthy lifestyle encouraging them to eat healthily, drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. While some of the students wanted to argue for later bedtimes and lie-ins they all accepted that her knowledge and expertise were to be respected even if they did not like some of the facts! They then looked at ways to manage stress and had a first aid workshop from Linn. Finally, we were really grateful to welcome OF Ollie Harding back to talk to the students with his Mum, Louise, about online security and how to stay safe online. Louise’s expertise was invaluable, and Ollie was able to connect with the students really well and enjoyed being back on the Frensham stage. Thank you to Louise, Ollie, Carys, Linn K and all the staff who helped with this morning. While it was a shame this had to be postponed due to our outside speaker having to pull out at the last minute, we have managed to book a replacement who will talk to the students during the afternoon of June 13th and revisit the topic of Healthy Relationships with them. We look forward to that. YEAR 7 ECODAYS On Friday 20th May, Year 7 enjoyed a day reconnecting with nature, as a light start (post exams) to our Eco Days. They started in our local woodland walking with their tutors, listening to the rain fall on the trees and playing games. A drying off session in the theatre for a talk and viewing of Our Planet followed. The groups went to Farnham Park to be taken on a tour by Nick Macfarlane, the Park Ranger, who gave us a fascinating insight into the ecology, management and history of the park. We were all surprised to hear that a Roman aqueduct once ran through the park and had fun pulling Himalayan balsam (an invasive species) and studying the meandering stream as we walked through it. Back at school, groups also engaged in some fun games, playing table tennis and swimming pool volleyball, which was a big hit! The second Eco Day for Year 7 will take place on the school site on Wednesday 29th June. Over the next half term, Geography and Science lessons will have an Eco slant as we examine habitats, conservation, and issues of waste. 1/10 "I loved venturing through the rivers – it felt like we were in a jungle." "I liked trying to find the fairies." "I loved the swimming volleyball – it was the best to play with all my friends, not just the boarders Walking in a field with cows was fun." "I enjoyed jumping across the banks of the river." "It was really interesting to see how the pebbles were shaped by the stream." DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY EXTRACURRICULAR PROJECT As part of an extra curricular club I wanted to extend my knowledge of jewellery making, something that interests me and maybe an area of interest for the future. The first step in making this ring was to sketch out some designs and then use the design software 2D design V3 so that, based on the initial sketches, a mould could be designed and cut with the laser cutter. Once the mould was cut from 9mm laser MDF, the next step was to melt down the metal (pewter) to pour into the mould. After it had hardened and cooled, the only remaining task was to file the edges to achieve a wavy pattern and polish the ring using different grades of emery cloth. I’m very happy with the final outcome and have developed new skills and processes. Written by Carla – Year 12 student 1/2 YEAR 4 DT Year 4 have been looking at reusing and recycling materials this half term for DT. They worked hard on designing a marble run, thinking carefully about different materials for friction, and angles for gravity to enable a clear run down. year 4 DT year 4 DT year 4 DT year 4 DT 1/3 year 4 DT year 4 DT year 4 DT year 4 DT 1/3 YEAR 9 TRIP TO THORPE LAKE Year 9 had a great trip to Thorpe Lake last week for some wakeboarding and inflatable fun - despite the wet weather. thorpe lake thorpe lake thorpe lake thorpe lake 1/22 thorpe lake thorpe lake thorpe lake thorpe lake 1/26 NURSERY – YR 5 JUBILEE CELEBRATION What a wonderful end to half term on such a glorious morning, celebrating Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses and everything red, white and blue! Our children arrived to start the day dressed in glorious costumes and clothes fit for royalty!!! Our grown ups also took the opportunity to embrace their inner Monarch. After our assembly in the Ballroom, the children gathered out on the front lawn and in the style of many street parties of the past sat in two long lines to have their morning snack. The snack this morning was also fit for royalty, the most amazing Jubilee cup-cakes provided by our catering team, not a crumb was left over!!! It was a wonderful sight to see, all our pupils from nursery to year 5 enjoying the morning spring sun. The Frensham ‘Spirit of Togetherness’ was definitely in full force today. JUBILEE TEA JUBILEE TEA JUBILEE TEA 1/2 YEAR 9 AND 10 WAKEBOARDING A group of Year 9 and 10 students have been spending their Tuesday afternoons kneeboarding and wakeboarding with Linn K at Thorpe Lakes. We managed to get a few photos of them this week. 1/25 SUSTAINABILITY FESTIVAL Frensham Heights had a stall and a stand in the glorious sunshine last Sunday. Two of our students had their own stall selling items that they had made or gathered too. There was a talk about Sustainability at Frensham Heights where we led with a message about fabric and how once it is made it can become a number of things ongoing and almost have at least nine lives, the same as a cat! Thanks go out to Debbie Hunt for the large amount of items she personally made from recycled fabrics for us. 1/4 WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS Our outreach has changed this half term and is focussed on teenagers from Ukraine who have not been given a school place. A growing group of Ukrainian visitors between the ages of 12 and 18 are meeting with a few of our 6th formers, Lynn G and Katya(Yr 7 parent) to socialise, follow Happy Space’s well being programme and take part in activities. Drama, cooking, an art tour and a walk have all been enjoyed so far. We share a lot of laughter when we meet. 1/6 CLIMBING ECA On Wednesday afternoons, Linn K takes a group of Yr 7 - 13 students to Surrey Sports Park for some bouldering and rope climbing. 1/29 OUTREACH YRS 7 & 8 Yesterday, we visited Gostrey Brightwell to begin decorating their hall by making ROYAL SCARECROWS. It was a tremendous amount of fun, we all learnt the National Anthem again and here were our scarecrows. 1/4 SPORTS REPORT THIS WEEK'S SPORTS REPORT Under 15s Rounders Vs Ditcham Park School We played our first rounders fixtures of the season away at Ditcham this week, in-between some very heavy rain!  The U14 team were dominant from the start and batted particularly well throughout. To mention some, stand out performances - Lulu bowled accurately and consistently, Lexie batted strongly and there was some confident fielding by Willow and Grace on the bases. Read More Under 13s Girls Cricket Vs Alton Under 13s Cricket Vs The Royal The U13s played cricket against The Royal on Thursday. We won the toss and elected to field first. We showed real improvement in our bowling and fielding restricting the opposition to 76-8. Special mention for Zac and Jack who both claimed 2 wickets each. We then chased the runs really well with excellent innings from both Harry B and Harry C. It is great to see how much they have all improved this half term. Well done, a great win!

THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM Friday 20th May, 2022 CLICK TO NAVIGATE SCHOOL MESSAGES SCHOOL EVENTS THIS WEEK AT SCHOOL SPORTS REPORT FRENSHAM KITCHEN NEXT WEEK A MESSAGE FROM RICK Dear Parents, I had the pleasure this week of meeting a number of Ukrainian refugee children living in the local area who had been invited into school to make pizzas and meet other children in similar circumstances. Lynn Goodburne and some of our wonderful Sixth Formers helped to facilitate this, and they will be doing so for the rest of the term every Wednesday afternoon. I am hugely proud of the continuing work of the school to support those in the local area, and I want to thank those in our community who have generously donated funds following my letter last week. As we are joined by more refugee children, we look forward to using these funds to support their educational and emotional needs. This week in the senior school all students in Years 7-9 have been doing their end-of-year assessments, balanced with a wonderful programme of activities. I want to thank the staff who have worked hard to ensure that the week has not been too stressful for the students, and the many smiling faces I have seen around campus suggest it has been a success. Years 10 and 12 have had an interesting week as they look at next steps: Year 10 have been finding out about the amazing opportunities in our Sixth Form, while Year 12 have been looking at life beyond Frensham. I want to thank them for their enthusiastic participation. Finally, we had a hugely successful Open Morning last weekend. We had over 100 families visiting the school, a record for us, and the combination of our wonderful student ambassadors, our passionate staff and the sunshine made it a day that the families really enjoyed. Have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes Rick A MESSAGE FROM NICK OT Dear Parents, I'm writing this from Tewkesbury on the Year 5 Residential and it has been magical to see our Frensham children back out adventuring. Simply seeing the children Katacanoeing (see video below) on the River Avon really was a brilliant moment and one that has been greatly missed. Next week, Year 6 head to St David's in Wales for their own adventures in the sea. There will also be lots of conservational exploration and discussion and a great deal of self-reflection. No doubt some wonderful memories will be made. Next Wednesday, we have our first Showcasing Event (Teaching and Learning focus) in Nursery to Year 5 when you will be invited into your child's learning space to be shown around to see some of their learning outcomes and highlights. This will happen straight after drop-off and you are invited to pop in between 8:30 - 9:15am. Please use the Main Car Park if you are intending to visit. Showcasing is very much on the agenda for the term ahead and beyond! Time is moving fast and I can't believe we are nearly at the end of this half term already. Have a lovely weekend and see you all very soon. Take care and have a fab weekend. Nick O-T NOTICES SCHOOL MESSAGES STUDENTS WALKING IN TO ROWLEDGE Students should not be walking in to Rowledge either during the school day or after school when they should be in ECAs. The students know this, but please reinforce at home. SUSTAINABILITY FAIR - SUNDAY MAY 22 AT 11AM This Sunday Frensham Heights Charity and Outreach have a stall at Farnham sustainability festival highlighting the life of fabric in our world today. We have pre loved clothes for sale, beautiful hand-made items made by Debbie Hunt, Lynn Goodburne and students as well as presenting a talk in the talk tent at 1pm. All monies raised will be used to provide essential items for our Ukrainian families who are settling in the Farnham area. UKRAINIAN BURSARY APPEAL As you all know, we welcomed our first Ukrainian student this week and are looking forward to welcoming more in the coming weeks. We launched our Ukrainian Bursary Appeal last week and have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the community and want to express our sincere thanks for this. If you would like to make a donation to this fund, to enable us to continue to support these children for as long as they need us, please follow the link below. https://oldfrenshamians.org/supportus “Our contribution feels like a drop in the ocean but together with other Frensham families, we hope to make a difference for future students who don't have the choices our children are given. To gift an education and encourage a future of possibilities and opportunities is the least we can do.” Anthony, Rachel and Sofia (Year 10) CHARITY CYCLE FOR KNOYDART FOUNDATION On Saturday, our Year 12 Knoydart Project students will be cycling the Shipwrights Way to raise money to build some much-needed new benches for the Knoydart community, which they will build themselves when we go there in June. Most of the students coming on the bike ride have not cycled in a long time or ever before so this really will be a huge challenge for them! As a group they are hoping to raise £2000 for the community project. If you have a spare £1 or two to donate towards it, I'm sure they would be very grateful! CLICK HERE TO DONATE THE PIERS MUDDLE CHARITY ART FESTIVAL - Saturday 21st May, 12.30-5pm Many of you will remember the wonderful Art Exhibition a few years ago at Rowledge social club, showcasing the amazing artistic talent of Piers Muddle (then aged 13yrs) where he raised a staggering amount of money for Brain Tumour Research, whilst battling cancer himself. Sadly Piers passed away last year aged only 15yrs and to honour his memory and love of art, the Piers Muddle Charity are holding a fundraising outdoor Art Festival in Rowledge School grounds, where he was once a pupil. This will be a unique interactive art event for children and their families to explore their creative side, take home their masterpieces, have fun playing the XL family games, purchase cards and bags with Piers’ own art work on, eat scrumptious food from The Surrey Horse Box and The Coffee Can, enjoy some live music and hopefully be lucky in the Mega Raffle - all whilst raising awareness and funds for Brain Tumour Research and families who have a children undergoing cancer treatment.

ARE YOU ANY GOOD AT INTERVIEWS? On Wednesday, 15th June 2022, we’re running a Careers’ Day for Year 10. This will start off with a Morning Talk from an OF. There will then be an Interview Blast session covering what to expect at an interview and how to prepare for it. After break – with the students asked to dress appropriately for an interview – we’ll have a large Apprentice style group challenge running, and we will also call students individually to have a mock job interview. Do you fancy grilling our Y10s for a generic job? We’ll provide the questions; you do the asking and record how they perform. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to experience interviews ahead of any future job or university applications (which will be coming up quite quickly) and for those students doing BTEC Business, it’s practice for part of their coursework in Y11! If you’re able to help and can spare an hour or two between 10.45am and 12.45pm on Wednesday, 15th June 2022, please get in touch with Lyall, our Head of Careers (lyallreynolds@frensham.org ).

THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM THIS WEEK YEAR 10 SIXTH FORM EXPERIENCE & YEAR 12 LIFE AFTER FRENSHAM Year 10 had a Sixth Form Experience week and Year 12 a Life after Frensham week. The two dovetailed in part but also provided valuable thinking space for our students in terms of opening up possibilities for their futures. Year 10 experienced a week as a Sixth Former with increased freedom, but also accompanying responsibility. They registered at Roberts House and got to use it as a base in between their various bespoke taster A-Level lessons. Meeting new teachers and teaching styles and studying new material in small classes really helped them see what areas will interest them in the future. They are now starting to consider A-Level choices and starting to envisage the path forward after GCSEs. We also had an entrepreneurial workshop, run by 8 Billion Ideas, on Thursday where they learned how to create new ideas, disrupt industries in a positive sense and pitch their new product in a ‘Dragon’s Den’ type environment. It was amazing to see both year groups working so well together and some of the ideas were incredibly impressive from innovations in Hoover technology to medical diagnostic tools and even an underwater submarine to regenerate coral. They had a speed-dating session where they developed interview skills and learned how to communicate better with people that they didn’t know so well. On Monday, Year 10 students and their parents came in the evening to listen to an enthusiastic student panel of Year 12 and 13 students talk about life in the Sixth Form and answer questions. We are very proud of their commitment to the Roberts House community, and it speaks volumes that when we asked for 6 students, we got 11 turn up! They spoke passionately and confidently and then led the tours around Roberts House. Year 12 engaged in a week of activities focused around UCAS applications and how to do them; we also looked at how to use Unifrog as an online platform to research the next steps after Frensham. There were personal statement sessions, seminars on apprenticeships, and Year 12 played a lead role in the entrepreneurial workshop on Thursday. They teamed up with year 10 and guided them throughout the day. Again, we were really impressed with the leadership skills Year 12 displayed throughout the week. Today, both Years 10 and 12 are at Thorpe Park for the day to unwind and relax, embrace new friendships and bring the week to a close in a fun fashion. 8 Billion Ideas 8 Billion Ideas 8 Billion Ideas 8 Billion Ideas 1/9 YEAR 8 VILLAGE Year 8 have spent afternoons this week training for the village project. The Village project is going to be starting on the 13th June and it will see Year 8 build and manage their own community in Frensham Heights woods. In a carousel, Year 8 students have taken part in various kinds of training all focused on team work and independence. These have included safe tool use, shelter building, fire building, orienteering and had in depth discussions about the nature of a functioning community. Overall there has been a great deal of positivity and the students have taken a lot from being in the woods each day. Today – they will continue this training with tool making, more shelter building, first aid and preparation for the village in June. Spirits are high at the time of writing… 1/31 MFL TRIPS TO LONDON BFI Over the past two weeks, the MFL students in Year 10 and 11 spent a day at the British Film Institute to explore and study languages through short films. The morning was packed with interactive activities in French, German and Spanish, followed by an enjoyable break at lunchtime on the Southbank, and an afternoon when we sat back and relaxed to discover a classic foreign film. The Spanish short films definitely caught our attention and left some of us perplexed, even horrified! This is what it is all about: to discover something different, to make us question what we see. All we can say is that the continental 7th art just did that! In true Frensham spirit, the students were great. Merci – Gracias – Danke to everyone for your engagement in the film days.

It was mocktails and music inside as the weather was not on our side. Students went off with some wise words from their tutors and an exam survival pack. They have been an amazing cohort who have shown great resilience over the past two years. We wish them all the very best of luck in their upcoming exams and look forward to seeing them in their finery for Prom on Monday 27 June. A letter detailing this event will be coming home soon. An here's a link to "Exam Season Parenting: A Crash Course" to help parents support their children during their exams. 1/6 EXAM STRESS POEM It has been a week of assessments for many of our students and although we balance this out with a lot of fun activities in the afternoons, it can still be stressful for many. Here's a poem on of our Year 7 students wrote, in his own time, on exams. Thank you for sharing Alfie. exam stress poem exam stress poem exam stress poem exam stress poem 1/4 YOU'RE HIRED! As part of the exam/activities week, twelve future business leaders were given the ultimate advertising task – to come up with a new brand for Frensham Heights School. They were challenged to design a new logo and slogan; to design and print a prospectus; to create a social media teaser; and to run a tour for prospective parents. Some people might find such a marketing challenge a daunting prospect – not our students. Split into two teams of six, they allocated a team leader and apportioned responsibility to the skills and expertise of their colleagues. Some worked on logo design, some work on the digital teaser, while others took photographs and prepared the tour route. They all worked brilliantly, with enthusiasm and passion for the task – it bodes well as they’re all doing BTEC Business Studies next year. The results were fantastic from the teaser that included drone footage captured by the team, to a chatty and friendly approach to the tours. Those taken on the tour commented; “the first tour guides were polite, answered my questions confidently and came across as genuine and good advocates for Frensham”. The second tour leaders were also praised with one mum commenting; “George and Alex were outgoing and chatty. Their sense of pride in the school was very apparent – and it was a lovely personal tour.” My thanks to the “mums” taken on tour – Emma and Lexi of our marketing team – and to the boys themselves. Brilliant advocates for the school who were rightly proud of their efforts this week. Emma is head of the school’s marketing, and she also said the prospectus invited you to want to read more, with a great tone of voice, their own images used, and a focus on the ‘who’ rather than ‘what’ (linked to our values); which definitely left me with a sense of what the school is about.” Great work! Lyall Head of Business and Enterprise, and Head of Careers – these guys have a future in marketing!

Frensham won the toss and elected to bat first. Our first pair was Johnny and Leo who regularly rotated strike and hit the occasional boundary with some lovely shots over the mid-wicket region. They only lost 1 wicket for 18 runs from their 2 overs which provided a solid platform our middle order consisting of Sienna, Lily, Otto, and Finn.

The home team won the toss and decided to bat first. The bowling attack of Frensham made a great start with Heidi and Lexie taking two wickets in the first two overs. Duke of Kent then dug in and took advantage of a short leg side boundary scoring several boundaries, which they continued to do through their innings finishing on 212. Read More Under 9s Mixed Cricket Vs Dunhurst Frensham 212 Runs Bedales 284 Runs On Wednesday we welcomed Bedales school to Frensham for an U9 pairs cricket fixture. The sun was out, and it was set to be a fantastic afternoon of cricket. Bedales won the toss and elected to field first much to the delight of our batters. The first pair of Amos and Noah started well only losing one wicket and scoring a few singles with a boundary to finish. Some good intent was shown by the boys with some nice loud calling. Read More U11 Softball Cricket v Bedales The U11's were back in action with another cricket game in quick succession following the fixture against More House at the start of the week. It's great to see the improvement in cricket skills from everyone over the course of this half-term and those who are less confident willing to still give fixtures a go and demonstrate some brilliant batting and bowling skills. Read More U12/11 Swimming v More House On Thursday we took a group of year 7 and 6 swimmers to More House for our first swim gala of the Summer term. Everyone competed in at least three events in a schedule that included backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, and relay races for both age groups. 4 points were awarded for a win down to 1 point for a 4th place finish in each race.

THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM Friday 29th April, 2022 CLICK TO NAVIGATE SCHOOL MESSAGES SCHOOL EVENTS THIS WEEK AT SCHOOL SPORTS REPORT FRENSHAM KITCHEN NEXT WEEK A MESSAGE FROM RICK CLICK FOR RICK'S MESSAGE A MESSAGE FROM NICK OT Dear Parents, I’m not sure where to begin to be honest! From the Queen visiting Year 1 to Year 4 conducting their own powerful Storm vocabulary performance - from Year 6 having an overnight camp-out to Year 5 learning Ukrainian and creating messages of support - to Year 3 getting creative and using materials to explore fractions. Not to mention the Early Years using claw hammers and Year 2 beginning their wander through their topic of Rainforests - it has simply been a fantastic first week back at school and one that offers an exciting marker for the summer term ahead. I hope the feedback coming home has been equally positive and that you have had a good week too. When the sun shines at Frensham there is always that extra spark in the air and we have certainly seen that this week within all classes. It has been great to see so many classes taking their learning outside and lovely examples of this have been sketching with Hannah on Main Lawn, Science with Esme out in the 4-6 playground, a whole bevvy of JS ECA’s in full-flow and a JS assembly out in front of Main House and its unbelievable view. We have also been spending the week launching our focus on the ‘Spirit of Togetherness’ with the children and this was further represented in a fun-fuelled whole Junior School Assembly in the theatre this morning. Please do keep checking in with your child’s class SeeSaw blog for further updates and pictures and keep an eye out for the new Friday Snapshot email. The Friday Snapshot will talk you through the headlines of your child’s learning experiences of the week gone, let you know what is coming in the week ahead and will also share any other key information that should be on your radar. Next week I intend to share the key dates for the summer term with you and will also endeavour to showcase any other wonderful learning moments in the Junior School that I come across. Until then, the Junior School Staff and I wish you a fab bank holiday weekend and we will see you on Tuesday for the next week of learning, experience and adventure! Take care and enjoy your time. Nick O-T NOTICES SCHOOL MESSAGES BOOKMARK BOX FOR UKRAINE The charity Bookmark Reading (whose usual purpose is to volunteer in primary schools to assist children in the UK with reading support) have recently committed to raising £1m to support Ukrainian children who are arriving in the UK. They want to help them start their new chapter in the UK feeling secure, welcome, and inspired. They have therefore created the Bookmark Box for Ukraine, working with literacy experts to carefully curate a box filled with literacy resources and tools to help these children build their familiarity with the English language. In the boxes, they are including high-quality, bilingual books, magazines, activities, school packs and tablets pre-loaded with educational and language apps and eBooks in English and Ukrainian. The tablets will also have SIM cards and mobile data allowance, so the children can stay in touch with friends and family displaced around the world. Please click here for the donation link and further information. LAPTOPS IN SCHOOL Can we please remind you that all students in Years 7 to 13 must have a fully-charged laptop in school everyday. Details of recommended laptop specifications can be found here - www.frensham.org/essential-kit TIMETABLES FOR INDIVIDUAL MUSIC LESSONS Timetables have been prepared for the remainder of this half term, and are available to parents on the Parent Portal under your child’s Real Time Timetable. Schedules for students in years 7 and above are available to them on Teams, and all Junior School Tutors have been sent copies for children in years 3 to 6 who have lessons too – so fingers crossed all will go swimmingly! WATERLOO BUS Just a reminder that the Waterloo bus will be doing the return journey to school on Monday 2nd instead of Sunday 1st.

RSVP HERE THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM THIS WEEK ELEVATE EDUCATION SEMINAR Elevate Education came into school to run a Year 9 study skills session on Time Management this week - perfect timing, as they work towards their Year 9 assessments. The session shared ideas on how to prioritise time, how to produce a weekly planner, how to create a study group, and how to avoid procrastination. This session will be followed up by another session called Study Sensai at the start of Year 10. The students took away with them a handout with ideas on how to study more efficiently. I hope this was useful and the students took something away from the session. Information which students may find useful can be found on their website. https://uk.elevateeducation.com/home They also run a number of useful parent seminars. Details of these will be emailed home as and when they occur. YRS 11 & 13 FUN Years 11 and 13 took part in some fun activities this week before heading off for study leave. 1/18 1/20 GEOGRAPHY TRIP TO ICELAND Our Geography expedition to Southern Iceland over the Easter Holidays was a truly enriching experience, both socially and educationally. The activities and landscape sparked curiosity and creativity in our students well beyond the remit of Geography. As Linn’s film shows we packed in a fantastic variety of experiences over our 3 night/4 day stay. Our group of 29 students and 4 staff, started our adventure walking through lava caves, immersing ourselves in the closest conditions to complete darkness that many of us will have experienced. We had a fascinating visit to a geothermal power station to help us understand how the Icelandic population power and heat their homes. This also gave us a better insight into why our showers smelt of eggs! Equipped with crampons and ice picks we trekked across part of the Solheimajokull Glacier and enjoyed the spray of one of Iceland’s many beautiful waterfalls by walking all the way behind it. It wasn’t all action however, in keeping with Icelandic tradition we relaxed in thermally heated water in both hot tubs and an open-air pool. We visited the mid-Atlantic ridge to see the division of the North American and European plates, alongside Thingvellir, Iceland’s first parliament. Great Geysir (a spouting hot spring), bubbling volcanic pools, Gulfoss (largest waterfall in Europe), a trip to a dairy farm serving delicious ice cream and walk to the Hard Rock Café along the sea front in Reykjavík via a film set completed our final day. Alas, we never quite got to see a full display of the Northern Lights, although some greening of the sky was reported. However, new friendships were forged and minds and bodies stretched by new experiences. The students were a credit to the school, they were polite, genuinely great company and good humoured, even at 4am on our day of departure! Their engagement and awe in the landscape inspired us all to look at it with new eyes. Our display showing the pictures of our wonderful adventure will be coming to the Geography department soon. Thanks to Will Paskell, Dan Pullen, Linn Kathenes-McGuigan and Karen McBride, Accounts and Support Staff for their help in running the trip. Student comments below:- ‘Best four days ever’ ‘I built a strong connection with people on the trip’ ‘It was mentally healing to be in a new and different place’ ‘So good to get to know people in different years’ ‘Each destination was equally as brilliant, and the bus journeys were fun’ ‘Looking for the Northern lights from hot tubs was amazing’ ‘It was all fab-tastic!’ COSTUME OF SPORT Building on the success of the Regency Morning Talk delivered by Dr Kim Simpson and Clio O’Sullivan as part of our World Book celebrations back in March, the links between Chawton House and Frensham Heights continue! Zoë and Sam from the English Department supported the official opening of the latest exhibition A Costume of Sport which was Clio’s first curation. We look forward to working alongside Chawton House to develop student enrichment opportunities and community collaboration projects in the future. 1/2 WELCOMING UKRANIAN FAMILIES We welcomed 15 local Ukranian families to meet, socialise and select items from the pop up shop of donated toys and clothes. This was captured on BBC South Today last night. It was lovely to meet the families that have travelled so far under such uncertain conditions for the last few weeks. Huge thanks to helping students; Chloe, Olivia, Theo and Kitty and teachers too. 1/2 A ROYAL VISIT Our Year 1 students were treated to a royal visit this week when the Queen came to tea to celebrate her upcoming Jubilee. They all behaved impeccable using their best bows and curtsies and asked many questions about her life and responsibilities. They had a royal tea with cucumber sandwiches and jam tarts. 1/12 YEAR 4 THIS WEEK We held our Yrs 4-6 assembly outside on Tuesday – it was glorious weather and a gorgeous setting. Additionally – Year 4 are focussing on plastic pollution during DT this half term. This week Group 1 reused plastic milk bottles to create bird feeders and snack pots. They worked really well together – there are going to be some happy birds! 1/8 YEAR 8 ART Year 8 this week have had a moment to work together on a larger piece. The creative collective comes to life. Love it!Beautiful!So cute! 1/2 YEAR 9 ART Just to get back to ourselves after the break some of our Year 9 students lost themselves in pastel creations of the moon. 1/3 SAILING INTO THE LONG WEEKEND Nine sailors from years 5 and 6 took part in the first Sailing Club session of the summer term and we'd love to let you know just how great they were! With a mixture of some who have sailed a little, one who has sailed a lot and the majority who have never sailed at all, our time on the water was a great success. The sailors covered the basics; parts of the boat and what they do, how to control our speed, steer and turn our boat around. A special mention for Alexander who mastered falling out of his boat and to Ava for being so helpful to her friends who were learning the ropes! It was great to see everyone out in their boats and I looked forward to seeing them all progress over the coming weeks. Lauren 1/5 SPORTS REPORT THIS WEEK'S SPORTS REPORT Welcome back to students and parents to the best term of the year, summer term!

Over 20 students made up 4 teams in a round robin tournament. As expected the staff never lost a match but it was brilliant seeing so many students keen to play.
