Curriculum
Freemen’s proudly offers the Freemen’s Pathway, a forward-thinking curriculum supporting pupils from the junior school to sixth form. GCSEs lead to flexible three or four A-level pathways with the EPQ. In 2026, A level results included 31 percent A*, 72 percent A*-A and 92 percent A*-B, while 37 percent of GCSE grades were 9 and 92 percent were 7-9. Pupils progress to leading UK and overseas universities, including Oxford, as well as apprenticeships. Guided by the ethos ‘learn, lead and make a difference’, Freemen’s nurtures resilience, empathy and kindness.
Sport & The Arts
Freemen’s champions sporting excellence and the creative arts. Pupils benefit from excellent facilities, expert coaching and the chance to take part in a broad range of sports, with several selected for Surrey elite programmes. Art, drama and music all flourish, with recent highlights including a spectacular Beauty and the Beast production at Leatherhead Theatre.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is central to school life. Freemen’s has earned the national Wellbeing Award for Schools, while its latest ISI inspection described emotional wellbeing as a significant strength. A wellbeing framework co-created by pupils, staff and parents helps create a safe, inclusive community where everyone feels known and supported.
Exit Destinations
Leavers progress to Russell Group, Oxbridge and leading universities worldwide, including Ivy League institutions in the US.
Head’s Philosophy
To lead a school where every pupil feels known, supported and inspired, developing kindness, curiosity and ambition while preparing them to confidently shape their own future.
