Overview

Several entry points shape Emanuel School: Year 6, Year 7, Year 9 and Sixth Form rather than one single secondary intake. Its Christian ethos and academic selection carry through the Lower School to post-16 study, within a co-educational 10-19 day-school model.

Form groups and regular tutor contact give the Lower School continuity, while sport, music and drama clubs develop interests beyond lessons. Life Education covers health, relationships, digital safety, careers and finance, connecting everyday wellbeing to later choices.

Post-16 study includes 26 A level subjects, the Extended Project Qualification and independent study. Higher education, employment, internships, financial capability and wellbeing add a practical dimension to subject study.

There is no boarding. Entry combines examinations with interviews, group experiences, references and previous-school information; occasional vacancies in Years 8 to 10 may also be considered. This makes a structured selective route from 10+ through Sixth Form.

Key points
