Emmanuel School is a subsidiary of East Midlands Christian Fellowships, a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. The Elders of the church are responsible for the oversight of the running of the school but a School Council comprising staff, elders and parents appointed by the elders act as the governing body. The school exists to serve parents and the community by training and educating pupils, paying due attention to their spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional, physical and moral development. The education offered is based on Christian principles, within a biblical frame of reference, and takes place in a loving and disciplined environment where each child is valued and encouraged in the “fulfilment of their God-given potential.” Summary of main findings Emmanuel School provides pupils with an effective and well-rounded education. The school is highly successful in promoting the Christian concepts which underpin its ethos. The quality of the curriculum and teaching are satisfactory. All pupils make satisfactory progress, however the monitoring of pupils’ progress and assessment is inadequate. Pupils enjoy school and fully appreciate the support, care and consideration of the very committed staff. Teachers and all who work in the school, together with many parent volunteers, set very high expectations of pupils’ discipline and the vast majority of pupils respond well. The quality of relationships is outstanding as seen in the high levels of interest shown for each pupil by every member of the school community. The accommodation is well managed and the school day runs smoothly.
