- Our Approach | Frensham Heights
Frensham Heights is a progressive school. Learning is active, with students exploring, collaborating, discussing and discovering. Our aim is for all students to become independent learners and take their education and future in their own hands. OUR APPROACH OUR TEACHING & LEARNING We pride ourselves on looking at the whole child. Body, mind and spirit. Every child has potential. Not just a narrow potential to do well in academic tests or behave in a classroom, but each has their own potential far wider than this. An amazing imagination. A keen eye for colour or ear for rhythm. A passion for the environment, for numbers, for human rights, for literature. A natural grace on stage or one that’s still developing. We can miss the mark hugely if we judge children with easy to tick boxes when they undoubtedly have so much more to offer. And so, we offer them a very broad curriculum to let each child follow their own path towards fulfilling their unique potential. Until the end of Year 9, all students will explore a diverse timetable made up of mathematical and scientific, creative and performing, linguistic and literary, physical and technological, moral and spiritual, social and human subjects. All held in equal importance. Our GCSEs and A Levels are equally broad allowing students to create a tailor-made curriculum supporting their passions, strengths and goals. Within the classroom, life is just as diverse. Teachers are supported to be brave and innovative with their teaching. Classes are small allowing topics, activities and discussions to be modified, flexible, adaptable to the students involved. Teachers can break the mould, are encouraged to break the mould. If something’s not working, if interest or understanding is failing, they can stop and discuss. How can we make this interesting for you? How can we make this work? And together they can find that spark that has them all engaged, involved and really learning. Non-competitive classrooms allow the shyest to be more bold and the loudest to be more gentle, more considerate – valuable lessons in their own right. It creates a refreshing place to learn and teach. MEET OUR TEACHERS LEARNING RELATIONSHIPS We talk a lot about relationships at Frensham. To be very honest, and it’s probably clear, we are very proud of the relationships that develop here - they form one of our core values. Not just the schoolmates who go on to be lifelong friends and actually not just the relationships between people. At Frensham, really special relationships grow between teachers and students and from that between students and the subjects they become passionate about during their time here. With a more informal setting and smaller classes, the teachers and students really get to know each other. Literally on a first-name basis. This is important because we ask our students to step up and be more responsible and self-motivated than they may need to be elsewhere. We don’t micro-manage, we do support, but ultimately it’s down to each child to take control of their learning. Teachers learn each child’s strengths and weaknesses. They reinforce where needed and push where they can, but most importantly, they are a friendly face. They genuinely want to help, not to intimidate or belittle. Our teachers love the subjects they teach and they really want to pass that on. Their enthusiasm, interest and passion overflows into their students, particularly those that find they love those subjects too. That genuine shared enthusiasm breaks down barriers to learning. There’s no stigma attached. You can love maths and chat equations with your tutor at break. You can sing your heart out in the corridor on the way to class. No one will judge. You can be really academic or truly creative or both. The support you see here between students, between friends, really can bring tears to your eyes. As long as you do your best, take a few risks, step out of your comfort zone now and then, Frensham can support you with whatever your dreams may be. LEARNING ENVIRONMENT In many ways, on first glance, our classrooms won’t look so different from anywhere else, but on second glance, you might notice that the teacher probably isn’t standing at the front. They’re more likely to be mingled in amongst the students. You might start to notice that the volume is a bit higher, it’s not just the teacher talking, the students – in all year groups – will be discussing and taking part too. Some classes might have gone outside, some might be using the tarmac as a giant blackboard or the woods as a setting for some creative writing. In all cases there will be a flexibility at work allowing the lessons to be moulded to keep everyone’s interest high. In every lesson what will stand out is the genuine relationships between the teachers and students. This develops both from our small class sizes and our more informal approach - our first name basis and sense of equality and mutual respect. This creates a learning environment that is not often found in an academic setting - a positive and safe academic learning environment where students and teachers can be brave and not afraid to take risks or make mistakes. SPORTS OUTDOOR ED CREATIVITY Creativity at Frensham is not limited to the creative subjects. It also sits at the heart of our academics. We strive for creativity of thought in every academic pursuit – to look at things differently, to consider a different approach - this forms one of our core values. We hope each student can find their own way to be engaged, that teachers can find a way to get everyone excited. Beyond that, developing a strong practice of creative thinking is imperative for life after Frensham. We aim to develop each student into a questioning and socially conscious young person. Someone who isn’t scared to challenge the norm, to question and speak up, someone who will make a difference whilst at Frensham and beyond. HOMEWORK Students are set homework if it is meaningful and adds something to their learning. We don't set homework just for the sake of it and sometimes giving students time to simply reflect on their learning can be a powerful tool. However, homework does give students the opportunity to work on essential life skills like organisation, time management and self discipline. It can also provide opportunities to consolidate learning and engage in a topic or independent research. Homework can be extremely valuable but never at the expense of student wellbeing. Our priority is about striking the balance between homework providing academic support but also not becoming overwhelming. We want our students to be able to have time out of school to be children - to rest and play. If we strike the balance right, these are not mutually exclusive. SUPPORT FOR LEARNING We have an excellent Support for Learning team and we are able to offer support to children with mild learning difficulties. Through our entrance process, we will assess whether we can meet the needs of each child - this is to ensure that all students can flourish and thrive during their time at Frensham. We are unable to provide dedicated teaching assistants or one-to-one support in class. We are also unable to support children with moderate or severe learning needs. OUR SEN POLICY

As a Sixth Form student on the Frensham Heights Arts Award programme, you can choose to follow a purely arts based route of study or combine your love of one of the arts with other more traditional Sixth Form pathways.

Students will benefit from an extensive array of enrichment tailored to their interests. Each student will be assigned a mentor from the teaching team - relevant to their specialism. They will work with their mentor on a bespoke programme which will run alongside their subject curriculum. This could involve specialist training with external experts and academic support when auditions or performances demand time off timetable. Group enrichment would range from trips to the West End or London exhibitions to workshops led by professional performers and artists to support to help you mentor younger students and develop student-led performances or exhibitions. In the visual arts, students will have open access to the studios on weekends which will include the opportunity to work alongside our teachers and technicians – giving students the invaluable experience of watching creative professionals working on their own private or commercial projects. Bespoke paths will include ceramics focus sessions and life drawing workshops. As we build relationships with local and regional creative hubs, students will have the opportunity to take their theatre pieces, bands or artwork on the road to external performance or exhibition spaces. Under the Frensham Heights Arts Awards, we will expect students to not only take full advantage of the enrichment and extracurricular opportunities on offer, but also find ways to enrich the experience of the rest of the school community – for example, by directing student-led performances, supporting Junior School arts clubs or mentoring younger performers or artists. Being part of a through school - from nursery through Sixth Form - allows our older students to gain confidence, communication skills and solid experience by being mentors to our younger students. As a Sixth Form student at Frensham, students will also have access to the full extracurricular programme of clubs and trips. Please click here to view our current extracurricular club programme.

A nurturing nursery & preschool in Farnham for children aged 3 to 4 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.

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.

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.

“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. Ambition. Betrayal.

- 2022 May Week 4
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. Prior to this they received a royal invite to the assembly and there was even a special Jubilee themed snack. Great times! Take care, have fun and see you soon.

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!

- 2022 May Week 3
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.

INFORMAL FOF VOLUNTEERS GROUP FOF are looking to put on many more events as we begin to enjoy a return to a more normal life. To help with this we are looking to put together a group that we can contact to help out once in a while, either through WhatsApp and/or email. It's nothing permanent and can range from: helping out at an event taking in collections selling 2nd hand uniform meeting up with new parents or just having a catch up and a coffee. 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 . 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 ). Remember, you might even be able to put this down as part of your company’s CSR allocation; especially if you’re able to help on this day or with other careers’ related events – we’re always after speakers and guests to provide insight into the World of Work - for all year groups.

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.

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. Read More Under 15s Girls Cricket Vs Duke of Kent On Tuesday afternoon the U15 girls cricket team travelled to Duke of Kent in the bright sunshine. 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.

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.
