Our incredible nursery to year 3 children melted our hearts last week, with their funny, happy, creative, Frensham take on a traditional nativity play. Performing in our @TheatreAldridge was a wonderful experience at such a young age. #abundleofjoy @frenshamheights

On one of the coldest nights of the year so far, Frensham hosted their first girls football match. The team worked so hard against a much older opposition. We didn't come away with a win but were delighted with this first fixture and the commitment our girls showed. @Frensham_PE

Our sixth form is different. Strong relationships and accountability stem from students meeting with their tutor every day, while opportunities and a sense of belonging comes from being part of whole-school life.
We still have places for September 2023. Get in touch today.
