City of London Freemen's School (CLFS)

Seeking views (ideally from direct experience) on CLFS. We are SW London and it is one of the schools on our radar for 11+ (2023 entry). Academic results seem outstanding but I am really interested on pastoral care (for a down-to-earth and sociable but also slightly anxious DD) and also sports, art, and music provision. Many thanks in advance.

Hello All,

Thank you

@Arisaig1 What are your concerns - please fee free to DM. We wanted to apply for year 9 but rather concerned about the above.

I have a nice child there who currently appears happy and not aware of issues - but I’m alarmed to see the issues highlighted and it would be great to see more personal experiences, good and bad from parents at the school in the junior and senior part. I have a number of concerns separate to those mentioned above but I don’t yet have much direct experience of the issues highlighted. That’s not to say there haven’t been issues I just don’t know of them. What are other people’s personal experiences good and bad?

Wow - how recent is the bullying? Was anything done? I’ve a happy child there who is a v nice kid - honest - and one where I’m less sure it’s right. Where did you move to and was it better??

Thanks so much all for your openness and sharing your experiences (especially as, given their nature, it must be quite painful on occasions). A school definitely off our list.
