Counterpoint:
One of the biggest changes in our approach to and strategy in Community and Partnerships has been to start up the Counterpoint Programme with Professor Sonia Blandford and Achievement for All. Not only does the programme give gravitas to partnerships with local state schools, it also enhances our offering for our own students and allows us to track students and measure data.
Bursaries
City of London Freemen's School is committed to providing academically able students, whose parents may not otherwise be able to afford the full cost of fees, the opportunity to attend the School. Bursaries of up to 100% of the fees are available to pupils entering Years 3 (7+), 7 (11+), 9 (13+) and 12 (16+). Bursaries are awarded based on performance in the entrance examinations and are subject to financial means-testing and annual review.
Subject to availability, and a financial means-tested assessment, Freemen's has some limited short-term bursarial funding to assist current parents who have had an unforeseen change in their financial situation.
