Emanuel prides itself on being a genuine community of altruistic and aspirational young people and staff, one that shows kindness and respect to all, with a concern for pupil well-being and their holistic life at its core.
Our aims:

Ethos: our approaches
- Pastoral care, wellbeing and pupil happiness: we ensure that every child is recognised, included, valued and supported to enjoy their life, thrive, and be happy at our school.
- Co-curricular and community life: we cultivate an altruistic, outward-looking and caring place that helps young people enjoy a sense of fun, self-esteem and personal momentum. Emanuel is a place where they are encouraged and helped to find creative and co-curricular passions, and are given the support to sustain involvement in them.
- Academic approach: we sustain a vibrant, forward-thinking and exciting school, adding value to every pupil as a means of enhancing wellbeing - not harming it.

Special Education Needs
About 10-15% of students at Emanuel are mildly dyslexic or dyspraxic, and we have a small learning support unit of three teachers who work with these pupils to improve their performance by means of small group work. This service is included in the tuition fee. Additional one-to-one assistance is available, on request, but this may be charged as an extra to the school fee. We have very few students at the school with other special needs at present, but we are always happy to discuss your son or daughter's needs with you to see if we can help. For example we have had some students with ADHD who have coped well here, and similarly students with hearing difficulties. So it is worth discussing the specific issues with us, to see whether we can provide the necessary support and assistance your child may need.
