For most, Freemen’s is a vibrant day school – but for around 60 students, it’s also something more: a home away from home. In our latest podcast episode, we’re lifting the lid on life inside Walbrook House, our boarding house, with stories straight from the people who know it best – our boarders and the staff who support them every step of the way. If you’re curious about boarding life – at Freemen’s or anywhere else – this episode is a must-listen.

You’ll hear honest reflections, heartfelt advice, and plenty of warmth from those who’ve lived it. Plus, we take a closer look at our unique Independent Living programme for Sixth Formers – a brilliant opportunity for students to live with friends in a shared house, learn essential life skills, and help them learn the skills they will need to thrive at University and beyond.
