Freeman College

I've visited Fusion Cafe on many occasions whilst visiting Sheffield. The produce is fresh and delicious and recently found out that all the produce is home grown by the students in the college. So if you're wanting healthy and organic food, this is the place for you. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and situated in a historic building with the student's work on display with a really cute independent maker's shop next door. If you're visiting Sheffield, definitely pop your head in. The only reason I've given a 4 star is they could with extended their opening hours so I can get delicious cakes more often.

I left Freeman College in Sheffield last year and i really miss everyone there. All the staff are so friendly and make you feel included. I struggled in year one to make friends but my EHCM helped me lots and now i have a supported living flat and a part time job and i have 2 best friends that i met at Freeman! Sheffield is a nice city to live and i loved my work experience in Fusion cafe and in a community pub. If you want a college that accepts you as you are then you will love Freeman, its different to other places and has a lovely farm too.

From start to finish, this college has been wonderful for my son. He’s received dedicated and compassionate support from the outset. I’d like to thank the team there for all of their hard work and dedication. He now feels ready to face the world, something I thought we may never achieve a few years ago, for which I am utterly appreciative of.

i never got to do any thing or talk to any one i wasnt helped to do any of that stuff i was sent home early almost every day and nothing ever changed it would be the same every day i was getting grabbed by the people that worked there and being trapped in a room by them and i was made to watch every one else have a good time when i was not i was attacked and the person that did it was treated better then me nothing was done about it i was treated worse by every one when i was the one that was hurt and I tried to do it back because i was not happy he got away with it and i was stopped and i got punished for it by them sending me to the college farm but when he did it he was still allowed to carry on as normal all students should be treated the same but freeman college like picking favorites and it was obvious who they were all of what happened still effects me every day and i left ages ago i wish i could forget about it all

I was a student here I started 2021 and left July 2023 I was glad to get out of the place and I was glad to leave sadly for me I was bullied and pushed and manipulated and made to go My mental health got worse by being at the college to the point that I ended up going to the women’s toilets and I would self harm in there with a razor blade that I took in to college I was bullied by students and hated every second of being there the best bit was getting out I’m a lot better now and I alone longer self harm being at the college drove me to it are used to go off to local shops and I used to buy Vodka and Coke just to numb the pain that I was in and just to get me through my college days I also used to go off and smoke weed with students as we felt like that we had to just make ourselves feel better because we didn’t really wanna be there luckily for me the drinking never got found out neither did the Razorblade and neither did the weed
