Upper Senior

Upper Senior/ Years 10 – 11

Where independence grows and ambition takes shape – preparing pupils for GCSEs and life beyond.

Stepping up with confidence

In the Upper Senior years, pupils take charge of their learning and their future.

It’s a time for building independence, resilience and self-belief – discovering what they love and where they want to go next.

Stepping up with confidence

Beyond Exams

GCSEs matter, but they don’t define our students.

We focus on balance and wellbeing, helping them manage big moments with calm and purpose.

Workshops and visiting speakers bring fresh voices and perspectives on the issues that matter most to teenagers today.

Personal Guidance

Small tutor groups and regular one-to-ones mean every pupil is known, heard and supported.

Sixth Form mentors offer advice from experience, creating a bridge between these key stages of school life.

Space to Shine

The Upper Senior School has its own common room, giving pupils a sense of independence while keeping them close to everything Freemen’s offers – from professional-grade art and science facilities to award-winning sports spaces.

Fully Engaged, Fully Present

We’re proudly a phone-free environment.

While technology has its place in learning, we want our pupils to stay present, curious and connected to one another – discovering the joy of real conversation, creativity and play.
