Values and Vision
The Nottingham Emmanuel School's mission is to enable children to experience great learning, develop great character and become great leaders. The whole community of students, parents and staff is committed to its 4 core values – Wisdom, Hope, Community and Dignity – and these values are underpinned by the House system and the 4 House "heroes", individuals whose lives have encapsulated these values. The school is highly inclusive; you will meet children who are aiming for the best universities in the UK and beyond, as well as those who need additional help with reading, writing and numeracy. This inclusiveness is at the heart of who we are as a school. Emmanuel is a school that develops children's "heads" and "hearts"; staff are both academically ambitious for every child and determined that every student should also develop as a rounded individual, with access to wide variety of sporting and cultural opportunities.
Ofsted report
Student outcomes are well above national averages at both GCSE and A Level. In its latest Church of England SIAMS inspection, the school was rated "outstanding". The most recent OFSTED report (March 2020) commented that:
* "Pupils are articulate and speak with confidence in a range of situations … There is a sense of community where all are valued."
* "Pupils achieve well across the curriculum in all year groups. Pupils achieve well in their external examinations at the end of Year 11 … Students achieve particularly well in the sixth form."
* "Leaders aim to develop the 'whole child' and place a high priority on pupils' well-being and personal development."
