Sir Thomas Fremantle School is a secondary free school that opened in Winslow, Buckinghamshire in September 2013. The school opened in the Winslow Centre which was previously the site of Winslow Secondary Modern School. The school will move into a new building in 2016. It was proposed by a group of local parents and educationalists, all keen to improve the quality of available secondary education in north Buckinghamshire.
The school is a non-denominational, non-selective school for students between 11 and 19.
Opening with 100 students, the school quickly expanded to around 120 by early 2014 and admitted an additional 80 students in September 2014. Another 80 will be admitted in September 2015.
The school is named after Sir Thomas Fremantle, a naval officer in the time of Lord Nelson.
The school is divided into three houses, each bearing the name of a ship Sir Thomas Fremantle captained: Neptune, Hussar and Spitfire.
The school has a focus on 3-D printing, and works closely with Black Country Atelier to deliver this.
The school's first headmaster, Mr D J Lyon, was appointed on 1 January 2013. Mr Lyon had previously worked at schools in Northampton and Milton Keynes. The deputy, Mr Neale Pledger has considerable experience in Milton Keynes schools.
