“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes…” Witches whisper prophecies. A crown beckons. Ambition ignites. This Is My Theatre Company returns with their critically acclaimed, edge-of-your-seat adaptation of Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy, Macbeth. Back by popular demand after sell-out runs and a triumphant Brighton Fringe season, this visceral production explodes onto the stage with music, malice, and murder most foul. Witness the descent into madness as ambition consumes a warrior, fueled by supernatural forces and a thirst for power. What price will be paid for a fleeting taste of kingship? Ambition. Betrayal. Murder. Experience Macbeth like never before. From the haunting whispers of the witches to the final, tragic downfall, experience the full power of Macbeth in this captivating live production. “Of all the Macbeths I’ve encountered… this might just be the most evocative… and most thrilling.” – Fringe Guru, ***** TWO PERFORMANCES. BOOK YOUR TICKETS NOW! £7.50 STUDENTS* & £10 ADULTS FULL LIVE THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE WITH INTERVAL FREE PARKING ON SITE * contact events@frensham.org to ask about school groups Saturday 8th March 2025 2.30pm to 4.30pm Book your tickets Saturday 8th March 2025 7.15pm to 9.15pm Book your tickets Educational Impact Imagine stepping into the very heart of Shakespeare's dark masterpiece. Forget dry textbook pages; imagine the witches' chilling incantations echoing through the theatre, Macbeth's tormented soliloquies ringing out with raw emotion, and Lady Macbeth's steely resolve chilling you to the bone. This is the power of live theatre, and for GCSE and A-Level students studying Macbeth, it's an absolute game-changer. A live performance offers: * Immersive Understanding: Theatre transcends the page, offering a visceral connection to the play's themes of ambition, guilt, and fate. Students don't just read about madness; they witness it unfold before them. * Dynamic Interpretation: Every production offers a unique lens through which to view Macbeth. Students gain exposure to diverse interpretations, sparking critical thinking and enriching their own analyses. * Linguistic Resonance: Hearing Shakespeare's language spoken aloud unlocks its power and beauty in a way that reading alone cannot. The rhythm, the imagery, the sheer poetry—it all comes alive on stage. * Emotional Impact: Theatre is an emotional experience. Students connect with the characters' struggles on a human level, deepening their understanding of the play's profound themes. 

 Seeing Macbeth live is not just educational; it's transformative. It ignites a passion for the play and provides students with invaluable insights that will resonate long after the curtain falls. This is My Theatre Touring theatrical production company This Is My Theatre, founded in 2016 by Artistic Director Sarah Slator, brings the power of classic drama and literary adaptations to everyone. They believe great stories belong to everyone, and we craft each production to resonate within its unique setting creating atmospheric, magical theatrical experiences for all. “Featuring a brilliant cast with musical skill along with their comedic timing, the performance came to a close with a standing ovation thoroughly deserved.” The Argus, ***** (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) “A must see for theatre fans and an education in how to make Shakespeare relevant again.” Binge Fringe, **** (Macbeth) “There is no better small theatre company than This Is My Theatre. This is Shakespeare we can relish – lucid, emotional, funny in all the right places.” BN1 Magazine (Romeo and Juliet) Farnham Literary Festival We are delighted to be working with This is My Theatre to put on this live performance as part of the 2025 Farnham Literary Festival.

A place for Old Frenshamians to get in touch and find out what's going on at Frensham Heights and beyond. WHO WE BECOME Frensham is definitely not a one size fits all kind of school so it's not surprising that our alumni go on to follow an amazing array of careers - dancers, doctors, engineers, actors, politicians, musicians, sculptors, scientists, teachers, entrepreneurs... But the one thing they all have in common is that they all remain part of our community. Frensham Heights is a school that stays with you long after you leave. The relationships built here, the confidence grown and the personalities that have emerged - they all last long beyond each students time here. We are so proud of our students and staff, past and present. They are what make this school unique and unforgettable. WELCOME OLD FRENSHAMIANS! Join us on the dedicated Old Frenshamian website to see what's happening in your community. OF WEBSITE CONTACT US A FEW WORDS FROM A FEW OLD FRENSHAMIANS 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." HEAR MORE FROM FLORENCE

This is a quick list of terms and queries you may come across during your time at Frensham. FAQS (YRS 7 & UP) Frequently asked questions 01 Appointments Please let Reception and your child's tutor know if your child will be going out of school for an appointment. You will need to sign them in and out at Reception. 02 Behaviour Frensham Heights has a strong ethos based on respect for one another. It’s important to us that everyone is treated with respect and kindness. We give students the opportunity to explain when they feel there is a problem or if they have a conflict with another student. Usually students will be taken away from the situation and given a chance to calm down, speak and resolve. We will either inform you verbally or in writing of such conflicts. Please pass on any messages concerning behaviour to your child’s tutor. For more serious behavioural problems, please refer to our School Rules here. 03 Calendar A digital School Calendar is available at the start of each term. Our calendar is also available online on the parent portal and the week ahead will be shared in Friday's newsletter. 04 Changes at Home Please let your child's tutor or Head of School know if there are changes to your family situation, moving house, illness, work commitments or new arrivals.

COURAGE TO TRY FRENSHAM FUELS PERSONAL DEDICATION We aspire to be the very best we can be, fully committing to our learning, proactively seeking improvement and working collaboratively for the benefit of the whole community. OUR HERITAGE Frensham Heights was founded in 1925 by educationalists Beatrice Ensor and Isabel King with the aid of a generous benefactor, Edith Douglas-Hamilton. 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. And so it has been ever since. Our founders were not alone in this aspiration. Many other schools were founded around the world during this period as part of the Progressive Education Movement which sought to offer something truly different to the formal, instructional-style of teaching found in most traditional state and private schools. Schools were founded as compassionate communities not only under the strong belief that educating the whole child was essential, but also as democracies with children taking an active part in their education – championing independent thought, exploration and student voice. Even through a war and more recently through a pandemic, Frensham has sought to lead with compassion and with a belief in each child and the good of humanity at its heart. PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION TODAY Although relatively rare in this country, Progressive Schools are thriving around the globe. We are very proud to be a member of the international Progressive Education Network. This is important to us not only because we truly believe this style of education offers children a better chance of happiness and success, but also because it holds us to account as a school, as educators. By promising to uphold not only our school’s founding ethos, but also the PEN principles, we have a better chance of continuing to offer the best possible opportunities for our students. As many more conventional schools catch on to the importance of the ‘soft skills’ and creativity, that have been intrinsic to schools like Frensham from the beginning, we must continue to set an example and pioneer education. We must keep moving forward to provide the most dynamic, inspirational Progressive curriculum that we can. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT PEN
