About Frensham Heights

Frensham Heights is a co-educational day and boarding school set within a 120-acre rural site near Farnham in Surrey. Founded in 1925 and run as a charitable trust overseen by a board of governors, the school welcomes pupils from the age of 3 through to 18. It is organised into a junior school for ages 3 to 11, middle and senior schools for ages 11 to 16, and a sixth form for ages 16 to 18. Boarders are accommodated in three co-educational boarding houses, and the school's community is a wonderfully varied one. Day pupils come largely from professional families living within about 20 miles of the school, whilst boarders represent a range of different nationalities. The school is committed to supporting every pupil, with specialist help in place for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and classroom support available for those who speak English as an additional language. Provision is also tailored for the school's most able and talented pupils. Frensham Heights aims to empower tomorrow's changemakers to find their inspiration today through a transformative education.
