Overview
Overview
A former Victorian congregational chapel gives Immanuel Christian School its starting point and its atmosphere. Opened in 2013 at Rodford Tabernacle, it serves pupils from age 4 to 16 through junior years and a senior section. The setting is small in scale, but its identity is clearly formed around a biblical understanding of the world, Christian belief and close partnership with families.
That ethos is carried into expectations for conduct and into the way learning is organised. Teaching can bring more than one year group together, and additional-needs support is part of the picture. Indoor and outdoor spaces are joined by the village playing field, Wapley Common and nearby woods, giving pupils local places for activity and learning beyond the chapel buildings.
Children can enter from Reception to Year 11 without an entrance examination, and admission is open to pupils of any race, religion or Christian denomination. Families must accept the Christian ethos and statement of faith; later entrants begin with a one-term trial. The junior-to-senior structure, chapel setting and direct admissions route make this Westerleigh school distinct from larger all-through models.
