Entry information
For Year 7 or another available class, Emmanuel Christian School uses its general admissions process: visit, apply, provide current-school information and arrange at least one taster day. The school makes a written offer if it can provide a place; it does not publish a separate competitive 11+ examination.
Entry stage: Year 7
The admissions process
- Arrange a school-day visit with the Head Teacher.
- After the visit, complete the school application form; there is no application fee.
- With permission, the school requests information from the child’s current school.
- The child spends at least one day in the class they would join before the school considers an offer.
- Places depend on availability in the relevant class; the school responds to applications within ten working days.
