Emmanuel School is a ten-minute walk from Clapham Junction.  The majority of classrooms are located in an impressive 19th century building surrounded by 12 acres of green space.  Consequently, the school is able to provide a very strong offering in sports and the arts.  The Head is warm and approachable and places a strong emphasis on the mental health of his students.  Unusually for London, Emmanuel has its own chapel and two chaplains who provide spiritual and emotional support for the community.  The school is not in the top tier of London schools academically; however, it has dramatically improved its results in recent years and does offer a well-rounded education with lots of extracurricular activities in an unusually lovely setting for inner London.  There are entry points at 10+ (48 places), 11+ (96 places), 13+ (6-8 places) and 16+ (30 places.)  At 11+ children will sit a Maths and English exam and have an interview.  Post A Levels, the majority head to a Russell Group university, a few to the US and significant amount to LAMDA, RADA, Royal College of Music and the Royal Drawing School.  Surely a result of the excellent performing arts department which recently won Independent School of the Year in this department.  Families tend to be relatively local and grounded, however as its popularity is soaring, so has its catchment area, which now reaches further into central London.
