  3. What are Free School? • There are 507 open free schools, with another 284 in the process of opening. • 83% of approved free schools are located in areas of recognised need. • Free schools are more likely to be rated Outstanding by Ofsted than other types of school. 30% of free schools are judged Outstanding by Ofsted compared with 21% of other school types. • Free schools are helping disadvantaged pupils access a high-quality education, being nearly three times more likely to be located in the most deprived areas of the country than the least deprived areas. • Free schools are more likely to be oversubscribed than any other type of state school.
