A prime example of this is the new Arts and theater facility which dominates an enter wing of the school. Meanwhile science is relegated to a neglected Victorian building.\n\nThe school may have once been outstanding, but there are now many schools in the area that provide a better experience, including state schools. Added to this is the fact that A-Level and GCSE results are far from stellar.\n\nIn short the school needs to pull it socks up and increase its academic performance, or it will continue to suffer from dwindling student numbers.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Frensham Heights has the potential to be great school, and from the prospectus you could easily be convinced that it is.
