Back to school!

We are so pleased to see our children back in school and they have studied so hard at home,

with successful face to face teaching on Microsoft Teams, supported by their wonderful parents.

We are on track with our curriculum and pupil progress this year.

A parent of a Year 11 pupil wrote:

“We are delighted with the way that things are going at the moment. Our daughter did very

well in her mock exams, and we are so proud of her, and how far she has come since joining

Emmaus at the start of Year 10. She is like a different young lady now, and a lot of that is down to the

excellent teaching, support, and pastoral care she has received from the school. We cannot thank

you, and all your staff and volunteers enough.”

Headteacher's Message

When visitors first enter our school, they invariably comment on the atmosphere. Described in infinitely different ways, the essence of a visitor's immediate impression is happy, motivated pupils working purposefully, quietly and independently in a calm learning environment of small classes, which are skilfully managed by dedicated, caring teachers who are passionate about their job.

The pupils themselves describe it as a loving family, where everyone is known and valued - a safe haven, which children can be themselves and find acceptance. Pupils thrive here - spiritually, socially, emotionally and academically.

'What is our secret?' is a question I often ask myself. In a fast-paced, constantly changing world of education, I believe that our success is because everything we do is underpinned by timeless and enduring values - attentiveness, faithfulness, creativity, diligence, patience, contentment, obedience, wisdom, tender-heartedness, thankfulness, honesty, joyfulness, love, forgiveness, responsibility and self-control. Values which are rooted in the Christian faith.

If you have never visited this very special place, I would love to welcome you and show you around so that you can see for yourself.
