Overview
Overview
Christian conviction shapes Emmaus from primary foundations to the end of secondary study. Its small mixed day-school model serves ages 4 to 16, with neither boarding nor Sixth Form; a former Victorian building was later replaced by a larger facility.
The Bible is central to the curriculum. Primary pupils study reading, mathematics, spelling and handwriting alongside science, history, geography, Scripture, music, art, PE, sport and French. From Year 7, ICT, Food Technology and modern foreign languages are added, with greater emphasis on independent study.
The usual GCSE programme includes mathematics, English, French and one science, with further options and Edexcel International GCSEs in English, history, geography, chemistry and physics. Academic choices retain the same Christian framework visible through the rest of school life.
Admission requires support for the Christian ethos and Statement of Faith. Reports and a reference lead to a taster day, diagnostic tests and interview; learning, physical, pastoral or language needs are considered individually. Small teaching groups and an initial one-term trial remain explicit parts of the arrangement.
