The City of London Freemen’s School is a co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 7 to 18. This is Freemen's official Facebook page.
The co-educational School was founded in 1854 in Brixton, and moved to the current 57 acre site in Ashtead Park in 1926. Freemen's is one of three schools owned by the City of London Corporation, and strong links exist between the City and the School including the annual City Visit and Prize Day. Christian principles remain at the heart of its ethos, although the School is non-denominational.
The School now educates approximately 880 girls and boys, from age 7-13 (Junior School) and from age 13-18 (Senior School). Most of these pupils are day pupils, but the School remains firmly committed to the provision of boarding for a number of its pupils. The strong house system fosters a sense of togetherness throughout the School, from the Junior years all the way to the Sixth Form.
Pupils at the School achieve excellent academic results (99.9% A*-C at GCSE and 71.3% A* and A at A-level), alongside physical, creative, social and spiritual development, through the many opportunities in sport, music, drama, the arts and leisure pursuits. Trips and visits enhance classroom learning across all year groups and subjects, with approximately 100 extra-curricular clubs and an enrichment programme for the whole school.
The School also benefits from a thriving parent community – the FSA – who host regular social events, and a dedicated Alumni Association – the OFA – who run sports teams and social events, both on and off site.
The School’s aims are:
• to provide an education of the highest quality in which each individual can reach his or her academic potential;
• to provide a ‘whole person’ education in which the academic, creative, physical, social and spiritual development of each pupil is promoted in a genuinely co-educational environment;
• to foster an atmosphere of self-respect and care for others in which pupils are confident, fulfilled and happy;
• to prepare pupils to identify and fulfil their role in society and to provide an education for life;
• to work in partnership with parents, governors, staff and former pupils to achieve the School’s aims.
