Making a difference has been part of Freemen’s since we were founded in Brixton in 1854. Today, service, partnership and giving remain central to our culture – in the classroom and far beyond it.
Pupils and staff volunteer widely across the local area, offering time, skills and friendship. From supporting local schools in maths, science, languages and sport, to fundraising and community service projects, meaningful engagement is part of everyday school life.
One of our flagship initiatives is the Buddy Club, run with the Epsom and Ewell Refugee Network. Freemen’s pupils offer one-to-one English support and friendship to refugee children from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Syria, while their parents receive English lessons from Freemen’s teachers.
As part of the City of London family of schools, our pupils benefit from shared expertise, events and experiences, including educational partnerships and creative collaborations with other schools across the City family.
We also foster strong relationships with schools and organisations across our local and wider community, offering a range of educational and enrichment opportunities. This includes STEM outreach with St Giles Primary School, alongside other opportunities for pupils to learn, collaborate and connect beyond their School.
