From the Spring term 2020, we will be offering football as part of the boys’ games programme (with competitive fixtures against local schools) for Years 6, 7 and 8. From the following year (2021), this will include Year 9, then Year 10 the following year, and so on. 

About 90% of our students stay on for sixth form at Emanuel, which is why we take in relatively few students from other schools at this level.

Pupils in Year 6 have taster lessons in French, Spanish, German and Latin. Pupils from Years 7 to 9 undertake two of these languages. All pupils must study at least one language at GCSE.

No. If your child is not successful in gaining a place at Year 6, we will then offer you the chance to register for 11+ when we post the decision about 10+ entry in March. Note that the opportunity to register for 11+ entry at that stage will only apply if your child is not offered a place at 10+.
