Sixth form facilities
The hub of Sixth Form life at Emanuel is the recently extended Sixth Form Centre. Overlooking the verdant school grounds, this spacious modern facility provides areas for silent or group study, a popular café and common areas in which pupils can socialise, as well as offices and conference spaces for meetings of pupil-led societies.
Sixth Form pupils have the freedom to spend their private study in one of these dedicated spaces or in the calm of the school library, which is situated at the heart of the main school building. Our library is one of the biggest and best-stocked learning resource centres in London, with a stock of nearly 30,000 books, over 50 magazine subscriptions and an extensive range of comics and graphic novels. Older pupils particularly enjoy our extensive range of online resources we subscribe to, including JSTOR, Newsbank, History Reference Centre and many others. An extensive archive is located on the mezzanine above, where pupils can seek inspiration from alumni.

Anyone lucky enough to join Emanuel at Sixth Form can be sure of the same friendly and supportive welcome I received from students and teachers alike. The educational and social opportunities offered create the perfect environment to take on the challenges of A level study.
Erica (Sixth Form new starter 2019)
Every girl and boy who joins the Sixth Form moves into a form, where their form tutor is their champion and mentor. The form tutor helps the student to get the most from their school life, such as joining clubs, taking up sports, singing in choirs and developing into the best person they can be. As well as the form, every student joins a house, which is a great way to make more friends and participate in a wide range of opportunities from chess to tug of war and music competitions. It is also where our peer mentoring programme takes place and we encourage every Sixth Form student to be a great mentor and role model for the younger pupils in their house.
Every day, the Sixth Form centre is a great social hub for the pupils – vibrant, exciting and happy – a symbol of the life we wish for every one of our senior girls and boys.
