A Little bit about our approach to Teaching & Learning

We aim high for all our students. We look beyond exams to instill life skills.

Learning at Frensham is unique and goes beyond what happens in the classroom. However, when we do focus on academic learning, there are some exciting programmes that our students become part of to equip them with the tools they need to take control of their own learning. They can achieve their academic potential and much more. We teach them the skills to learn.

We often assume that students innately know how to learn, of course this is not true and often this assumption can lead to unobtainable expectations and underachievement. At Frensham, we know that it is not enough to be good at taking exams, regurgitating information, churning out papers. We need to be able to think like learners, life-long learners to go beyond exams.

Each student is different, learns differently. We aim to provide each of them with learning skills and practices that will set them on their individual paths to great careers and, more importantly, great lives

Next Steps

Choosing a school for your child, no matter how old they are, can be daunting and overwhelming. With COVID-19, we recognise it’s even more challenging. Schools themselves are looking a bit different and many in-person chats and visits are needing to be virtual.

We are really happy to help – please get just get in touch and we’ll answer any questions and guide you through our admissions process. We are pleased to be able to welcome visitors back on to site for personal tours (albeit in a more restricted fashion). We can also offer video calls with our Head and relevant teaching staff.

If you are looking for a place at Frensham from September 2021, please take a look at our Admissions page to find out more about our assessment processes at this time.

If you’re considering Frensham for your child, please get in touch with our Admissions team on [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!
