Thousands of our pupils started their young adult lives at Emanuel; a journey that began with a walk down the long drive from Battersea Rise or over the bridge in recent times. Our ambition is to ensure all aspirational girls and boys, regardless of financial circumstances, have the chance to follow in their footsteps.

Our aim, supported by our community partnership initiatives, is to increase significantly the number of funded places, ensuring we can support any young person with distinctive promise – core to our founder’s vision and at the heart of Giant Strides.

I am proud to work in a school which strives to fulfil its obligation to the whole community and seeks to enable aspirational children from any background to access all that we have to offer.
