Farnham GU10 4EA, UK
At Frensham Heights Junior School in Farnham, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision is coordinated by a dedicated Junior School Head of Learning Support, operating under a whole-school “Support for Learning” department. Set within a progressive, non-selective, and character-led mainstream environment, the school utilises its characteristically small class sizes (capped at 10 in early years and 18 in Upper Junior) to ensure that mild-to-moderate learning differences, such as dyslexia and focus tracking difficulties, are handled with a high degree of personalisation.
Non-selective at entry, looking for holistic fit. Early years entry is based on gentle, informal play assessments. Prep entry requires a formal registration (£120 non-refundable fee), an on-site Taster/Assessment Day to review baseline capabilities, and a formal progress reference from the child’s current headteacher.
Operates rolling admissions subject to space. Key open days are scheduled during the year (such as the Boarding Open Morning in May and Main Open Morning in late September). Registration is strongly advised 12 months in advance for peak entry points (Reception, Year 3, and Year 7).
Highly regarded as one of the leading Catholic co-educational prep schools in the UK. Routinely praised by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) for exceptional pastoral care and strong academic value-add.
Major UK independent senior schools. Top leaver destinations at 13+ include Marlborough College, Sherborne Girls, Canford, Dauntsey’s, Radley College, St Mary’s Ascot, St Mary’s Calne, Winchester College, Eton College, Downside, and Godolphin, with a high proportion of pupils securing annual academic and co-curricular scholarships.
