It is our firmly held belief that a broad and varied education is vital to creating happy, aspirational students who are equipped to be the leaders of the future. As a sixth form student at Emanuel you will be enrolled on the Emanuel Award programme, which aims not only to celebrate your engagement with your core academic studies, but also emphasises the importance to us of your commitment to activities beyond the classroom and school community.
Through the Emanuel Award, you will be encouraged to contribute proactively to four key areas of school life:

Academic

Involving not only your A level study but also the Extended Project Qualification, academic enrichment activities such as the Goddard Lecture programme, and a huge range of super-curricular clubs, societies and competitions, from History and Politics Society to the Hans Woyda Maths team;

Co-curricular

Involving sport, art, music and drama, as well as numerous additional societies from film to debating;

Community

Referring to our award-winning primary school partnerships programme, charitable fund-raising, leadership roles such as school prefect and our numerous pupil voice groups including School Council, The Bridge (gender equality and mutual respect), the Archer Advisory Group (racial equality and diversity), Prism (LGBTQ+), Eco committee and the Emanuel Nutrition Review Group;

Futures

Including all training and activities relating to higher education and careers, from university summer schools to work experience andour extensive ‘Life Education’ programme.

Encompassing all of these strands is an emphasis on well-being, with initiatives aimed at developing your awareness of the importance of your mental and physical health and the steps you can take to promote your own and others’ happiness.
A graduation ceremony at the end of the Upper Sixth allows us to celebrate your completion of the Emanuel Award and to acknowledge those who have contributed most significantly to leadership in each area of school life.
