SIAMS Report – The Nottingham Emmanuel School
The highlights are listed below:
- The whole school community is passionately committed to a transformational Christian vision, built on clear biblical foundations. This vision enables all pupils to overcome barriers to learning and personal development, and to flourish.
- Pupils and staff are empowered by deep mutual respect and acceptance. Every individual is given both dignity and the freedom to express themselves.
- Inspiring collective worship, that fosters spiritual growth, is strongly led by a gifted chaplaincy team and supported by churches across the city.
- Deeply considered and tenacious pastoral care that is obviously shaped by the Christian vision enables all pupils to flourish.
- Pupils enjoy religious education (RE) and benefit from a balanced curriculum and good teaching by subject specialists.
- The excellent work of chaplaincy is at the heart of school life. Under the leadership of a compassionate and committed Christian youth worker, the chaplaincy team is essential in supporting the development of character and spiritual life.
- Prayer is deeply embedded and natural in school life.
- The study of RE makes a vital contribution to pupils’ understanding and respect for each other. Skillfully guided lessons stretch and challenge pupils to understand and articulate theological concepts and beliefs.
- The Diocese and the Archway Learning Trust are key partners. They facilitate the Christian vision effectively, through collaboration, networks and continuing professional development. As a result, they encourage and sustain governors and leaders in their work as Church school leaders. Through their commitment to transforming lives, this excellent school is a place where pupils and adults flourish.
