When can I register my child for Sixth form (16+) entry to Year 12?
The registration period will open in May 2024 for 2025 entry. We do not accept early applications and everyone who is registered is invited to sit the entrance examinations.
When can I visit Emanuel?
We hold a Sixth form open evening every September where you will have the chance to hear from the headmaster and other senior teachers, tour the school and speak to the heads of academic departments.
The entrance examination clashes with another entrance examination. Can my child sit the entrance examination on another day?
All candidates are expected to sit the entrance examinations on the published date. If you do have a clash with another school, please contact the admissions team to discuss this directly.
We live overseas at the moment. Do I have to sit the entrance examinations at Emanuel?
Candidates who are living abroad at the time of the entrance assessments may sit the assessments at another approved test centre by prior arrangement (please note this is usually only applicable to overseas applicants).
Do I have to achieve a certain level in my GCSEs to gain a place at Emanuel?
All offer holders have to achieve an average of 7 or more in their GCSEs and at least 7s in all of the subjects they have chosen for A-Level, with the exception of Maths and Physics where you will require an 8.
Will I settle in if I join a new school for the sixth form?
Of course you are making a big step, but if you are offered a place, you will be invited come and visit us prior to the start of your first term in September for the sixth form induction, which takes place in June. Additionally, just after you start in September, there will be a team building event to help meet and get to know your fellow students. We usually place a couple of new joiners in each form group to help with the settling process. Whilst it might feel like a significant change, there are always lots of pupils and staff on hand who are very willing to help.
What scholarships do you offer?
We offer academic scholarships (which are awarded based on performance in the entrance examinations), art, drama, music and sport scholarships. Please click here for more information.
Can you hold more than one scholarship?
It is possible (but exceptional) for a pupil to hold more than one scholarship and to receive a larger fee remission as a consequence.
What value are the scholarships?
The fee remission for co-curricular scholarships is usually 10% but in exceptional circumstances can be 25% or 50%. Scholarships are not means-tested.
How much is the registration fee?
The registration fee is £155. You must pay the registration fee when you submit your registration form.
I cannot afford the registration fee. Can I still register my child?
It is possible to have the registration fee waived where the household income is below £26,000 per year. Please contact the admissions team for more information before completing a registration form.
I cannot afford the school fees. Can my child still be considered for a place?
