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:
“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
