Experiences of Frensham Heights for a child suited to mainstream schooling

We are considering sending our DD to Frensham heights for year 7... but she does not fit the cohort of neurodiverse children that I believe the school excels with. She would manage well in main-stream school also but we love the teaching ethos of Frensham. If you have had a child in a similar position I would be so grateful for a chat as hearing your experiences first hand would be invaluable. Struggling with what feels like a huge decision right now :) Thanks

My children didn’t go to Frensham Heights but I know many who did and only a minority of them
were neurodiverse.

All the parents I know who sent their children there were very happy with it.

hi, a bit late, but we have similar thoughs. All children i know off who more recently went to Frensham Heights are neurodiverse, with at least moderate issues around academics and behaviour. This quite different from about 3-4 years ago, so we are not sure whether Frensham Heights suits us…
If frensham turns into a special school, it doesn’t really suit us, and I don’t know if they have the setup to be successful as a special school. We love the ethos and art focus though
