We are delighted that 45% of grades awarded were the top grade of 9 and I am delighted that, despite interruptions over the last two academic years, pupils at Freemen’s have done so well."

Despite the challenges caused by the COVID pandemic, students at City of London Freemen’s School in Ashtead once again received outstanding GCSE results. 45% of all grades were graded 9 and 72% of grades achieved were 8 or 9.
Headmaster, Roland Martin, commented, “Putting to one side the additional challenges students have faced over the last two years, the GCSE results awarded reflect the combined efforts of students, parents and staff, who should be proud in achieving a superb set of collective results, with some wonderful individual stories. The outstanding results show that Freemen’s is a school which continues to develop and extend itself, building on our historical traditions of academic excellence. We are delighted that 45% of grades awarded were the top grade of 9 and I am delighted that, despite interruptions over the last two academic years, pupils at Freemen’s have done so well."
“Following adjustments to assessment criteria and the decision from central Government to ask schools and colleges to take ownership of the assessment procedures, colleagues have invested hours of work into ensuring our processes have been rigorous; above all, we have achieved fair and accurate reflection of performance based on assessment data as well as information from those closest to the pupils - our teaching staff, who know their charges extremely well. I extend my thanks to colleagues at Freemen’s for delivering a process which has cemented a true reflection of our pupils’ attainment.”
Supporting students working remotely during the periods of lockdown in maintaining a balance between keeping up with academic studies and emotional and physical wellbeing has been an important part of day-to-day life at Freemen’s throughout the last two academic years.
Said Philip Woodhouse, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the City of London Freemen's School “After this week’s incredible A Level results it was encouraging to hear more good news and to see that the excellent academic standards at the Freemen’s School have been maintained, despite the challenges our students have faced. My congratulations to students, parents and staff at the School.”
We look forward to welcoming the students back into the Sixth Form at the start of the new academic year, where they will transition to the new state-of-the-art Sixth Form Centre in Main House.
