Can you sue a UK secondary school for limiting freedom of speech?
I was wondering if it was possible to take legal action if a UK secondary school threatens to suspend a child because they had said a comment about another child and they had reported it? It hardly seems fair and isn't it limiting their freedom of speech? It was not a racist/sexist comment.

If it was insulting or offensive, that's not considered freedom of speech. Students give up that right when they enter school grounds. The school has every right to suspend the child.
