Joining Freemen’s

  • Freemen’s welcomes new students at 7+ (Year 3), 11+ (Year 7), 13+ (Year 9) and 16+ (Sixth Form). We also admit students at other ages, subject to the occasional availability of a place in a particular year.
  • We do not accept students into Year 11 or Year 13. 
  • Boarding places are available for students joining at 13+ (Year 9), 14+ (Year 10, subject to availability) and 16+ (Year 12)

We are an academically selective school, but we are looking for more than just good grades. We look for students who, in addition to academic potential, will contribute positively to school life through their motivation, intellectual curiosity and willingness to try new things. We admit students from all backgrounds and are committed to making a Freemen’s education available to academically able students, regardless of their financial circumstances, through our means-tested bursar programme.
