Frensham Heights School

Frensham Heights School is a private school with sixth form college located near Farnham, Surrey, England, run by the registered charity, Frensham Heights Educational Trust Ltd. It was founded in 1925 and formed as part of the movement for progressive education. Unlike many HMC member schools, it has been coeducational and took both day and boarding pupils since its foundation.

Foundation and location
The school was founded by Edith Douglas-Hamilton and established under joint headmistresses, Beatrice Ensor and Isabel King. It became firmly established under the headmastership of Paul Roberts (1928–1949 ) and was recognised as efficient by the Ministry of Education in 1935.

Based at a mock-Tudor mansion, built by the brewer Charles Charrington in 1898, and in its estate, the school is on a hill 2.5 mi from the centre of Farnham but is actually in the village of Frensham. Its grounds run into Rowledge.

The headmaster
Andrew Fisher, has returned to Frensham as Headmaster for the start of the 2023/2024 academic year.

Facilities
The school has a professional working theatre called the Aldridge Theatre, with a capacity of 300, which is used for both internal and external performances. Also it has an independent sixth form centre, which is separated from the rest of the school, and a music centre.
