What The Good Schools Guide says..

A school with a history – founded in Westminster in 1594 by Lady Dacre. The school’s magazine, Portcullis, has just reached its 300th edition. Unusually, it was co-educational from the start with just 10 boys and 10 girls. As befits the happy and relaxed atmosphere of the school, children don’t seem to feel too intensively pressured. A typical report: ‘Children seem to be prepared for exams without being over stressed.’ Passports at the ready – too many international trips, sports tours, departmental exchanges and adventures to mention covering what seems like the entire of Europe and further afield to India and the US...

What the school says...

At the time of the founding of the school in 1594, Lady Dacre, our foundress, wrote that one of the main aims was, 'for the bringing up of children in virtue and good and laudable arts so that they might better live in time to come by their honest labour'.
Today, Emanuel is also committed to
promoting independent thought and a life-long curiosity for learning
the pursuit of academic excellence
providing a broad-based education enabling all pupils to discover their strengths, develop their individual talents and prepare for higher education and adult life
providing supportive pastoral care that nurtures health and well being, emotional maturity and spiritual richness
engendering respect, tolerance and understanding of the importance of caring for others and the environment.

The end result is a vibrant and friendly school - come and see for yourself. ...Read more

What The Good Schools Guide says

Headmaster

Since September 2017, Robert Milne previously deputy head (pastoral) at King's College Wimbledon, where he also taught English and coached a variety of sports. Started off teaching English at Oundle; after this he moved to King Edward's Birmingham as housemaster of a day house, before moving to Magdalen College School as head of English.

Academic matters

Both A level and GCSE grades have been steadily improving year on year. In 2016, 39 per cent of A level grades A*/A and 62 per cent A*/A at GCSE. Grades in chemistry and physics at GCSE are streets ahead of the rest. Strong results in maths but mathematicians sometimes outclassed by a huge cohort of historians who really shine at A level too. Politics and economics are also popular. Linguists in handfuls.

GCSE: all pupils...

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.
