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 (1929–1949) and was recognised as efficient by the Ministry of Education in 1935.
It currently has students ranging from the ages of 3 to 18 years.
Based in a mock-Tudor mansion and its estate, built by the brewer Charrington in 1902, the school is located on a hill several miles away from the small town of Farnham but is actually located in the village of Frensham. Its grounds run into the village of Rowledge which is located just next to Frensham.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“The Bermudas are said to have been discovered by a Spanish ship of that name which was wrecked on them.... Yet at the very first planting of them with some sixty persons, in 1612, the first governor, the same year, “built and laid the foundation of eight or nine forts.” To be ready, one would say, to entertain the first ship’s company that should be next shipwrecked on to them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
