Emmaus School is a charitable limited company which was established in 1997 to educate children, aged 5 - 16 years, to a high standard, in preparation for contemporary society, in a supportive and happy family-orientated environment which caters for the needs of the individual whatever their level of ability or background.
We do this by starting from the understanding that we are all made in the image of God, which gives human life dignity and value. Each child is uniquely created by God, loved by God and known by God, regardless of their faith and social or ethnic origin.
All relationships in the school flow from this starting point and teachers strive to establish an atmosphere of mutual respect, recognising that, although adults and children alike are imperfect, the perfect example has been given for us to follow in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We aim to model Christian character to children so that they will want to know God for themselves and choose to follow Him. The purpose of their schooling is to develop the God-given talents and abilities of pupils so that in adulthood they will make a positive contribution to society.
