學術

我們希望培養學生的自信、好奇心、獨立性和智慧,以便他們在人生的下一階段取得成功,無論是為高中、六年級或自由民高中以外的生活做準備。

但我們不會催促我們的孩子。對我們來說,這是為了確保我們照顧的年輕人能夠接受廣度和深度的穩定教育,這樣當他們最終進入GCSE或A Level考試時,他們就有了成功的堅實基礎。 

從 7 歲到 18 歲的旅程是無縫的,無需考試即可在學校升學,您的孩子可以專注於在創新和靈活的學習環境中茁壯成長。

我們的學生在羅素集團大學、牛津大學和劍橋大學以及英國以外的大學取得優異成績,追求自己的夢想,但我們並不是一個學術溫室。在弗里曼接受教育的重要一點是我們希望您的孩子找到適合他們的道路。

 

檢查報告和審查

由八名檢查員組成的小組於2022 年11 月在三天內視察了弗里曼學校,發現學校符合《2014 年教育(獨立學校標準)條例》附表中的標準、《2022 年國家寄宿學校最低標準》以及相關要求,並完全符合所有領域符合要求。 

這些標準包括所提供的教育品質;學生的精神、道德、社會和文化發展;學生的福利、健康與安全;員工、供應人員和業主的適合性;學校校舍及住宿;提供資訊;處理投訴的方式以及學校領導和管理的品質。

總體而言,督察員對學校印象深刻,所有標準均已滿足。學校和教職員提供的教育品質以及學生的學業成績和個人發展品質等標準均被評為「優秀」。

檢查是基於觀察的課程以及與學生、工作人員、州長和家長的討論。作為訪問的一部分,檢查人員還參觀了沃爾布魯克寄宿處以及學習支持和教育資源區。 

校長羅蘭馬丁 (Roland Martin) 表示:「我對我們的員工為確保我們在課堂內外達到預期標準所做的工作感到非常自豪,很高興看到報告中反映了這一點。學生的學術和其他成就被視為“優秀”,這對所有相關人員來說都是非常有益的。 

「顯然,我很高興我們在所有領域都被標記為完全合規,但看到學校的精神受到讚揚尤其令人欣慰。關於我們致力於培養從小學到高中再到高中的學生,讓他們為未來的世界做好準備的評論確實令人振奮。在與報告督察的交談中,我感覺到她和她非常專業的團隊了解學校的情況,並且了解弗里曼學校學生和教職員工的素質。

City of London Freemen’s School (CLFS) is a co-educational private school for day and boarding pupils, located at Ashtead Park in Surrey, England. It is the sister school of the City of London School and the City of London School for Girls, which are both independent single-sex schools located within the City of London itself. All three schools receive funding from the City’s Cash. The school’s head is a member of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference.

The Good Schools Guide described the school as “A traditional academic and sporty school in a stunning setting with impressive facilities but not at all elitist – in fact quite the opposite.”In 2023, 60% of pupils achieved A*-A in A Levels and 84% achieved 9-7 in GCSEs.

 

Academic

We want to foster in our students the confidence, curiosity, independence and wisdom to succeed in the next stage of your life, whether it be preparing for Senior School, Sixth Form or life beyond Freemen’s.

But we don’t rush our children. For us, it is about ensuring the young people in our care have a steady education with breadth and depth, so that when they finally come to GCSEs or A Levels, they have the solid foundations to succeed. 

The journey from age seven to 18 is seamless and without exams to progress through the School, your child can focus on thriving in an innovative and flexible learning environment.

Our students achieve high results to pursue their dreams at Russell group universities, Oxford and Cambridge, as well as at universities outside of the UK, but we are not an academic hot house. The important thing about being educated at Freemen’s is we want your child to find the path that’s right for them.

 

Inspection Reports and Reviews

A team of eight inspectors visited Freemen’s over three days in November 2022 and found that the school met the standards in the schedule to the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, the National Minimum Standards for Boarding Schools 2022, and associated requirements and was fully compliant in all areas. 

These standards included quality of education provided; spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils; welfare, health and safety of pupils; suitability of staff, supply staff and proprietors; premises of and accommodation at schools; provision of information; manner in which complaints are handled and quality of leadership in and management of schools.

Overall, the inspectors were impressed by the school and all standards were met. Standards such as the quality of education provided by the school and staff as well as the quality of pupils’ academic achievement and personal development were both rated “excellent”.

The inspection was based on observed lessons, discussions with pupils, staff, governors and parents. Inspectors also visited the boarding house, Walbrook, and the learning support and educational resource areas as part of their visit. 

Roland Martin, Headmaster said: “I am extremely proud of the work our staff do to ensure we meet the expected standards in and out of the classroom and it is so pleasing to see that reflected in the report. The quality of pupils’ academic – and other – achievements being deemed “excellent” is very rewarding for all concerned. 

“Obviously, I am delighted that we were marked fully compliant across all areas, but it is particularly rewarding to see the School’s ethos commended. The comments regarding our commitment to developing students from Junior School through to Senior School and on to Sixth Form to be ready for the world beyond is truly heartening. I felt in my conversations with the reporting inspector that she and her very professional team had the measure of the School and understood the quality of the pupils and staff that we have here at Freemen’s.”
