Emanuel is an independent 10 - 18 co-educational day school situated near to Wandsworth Common. It has until very recently been a boys only school, but accepted its first intake of both boys and girls at 11+ in September 1996. There were already some girls in the 6th form. Entry is at 10+, 11+, 13+ and 16+ when both scholarships, bursaries and assisted places are available.
Pupils sit for 9 or 10 GCSEs and most continue on into the 6th form to study for A levels. There is a strong extra-curricular emphasis particularly on sport, drama, art and music. The vast majority of pupils continue on to Higher Education. Whilst we do not have special facilities, pupils with study skill difficulties such as dyslexia are sympathetically considered.
Emanuel is situated near to Clapham Junction Railway Station and the bus and rail network is such that pupils come to Emanuel from all over London. Do come and visit us. Just give us a ring to receive a prospectus and/or arrange an appointment.
