Preparatory School | Senior School | Sixth Form

Imagine your child attending one of the top 3% of secondary schools in the UK

Imagine a school where 90% of classes have fewer than 20 pupils

Imagine a school where 100% of pupils achieve grades A* to B in Jewish Studies and Modern Hebrew GCSE examinations

Every teacher and pupil made me feel welcome. Immanuel College is an amazing school; I've made loads of new friends and I'm having a fantastic time.

Holocaust Education

At the end of the winter term, Immanuel’s Lower Sixth students visit Krakow, Lublin and Warsaw to study 1,000 years of Jewish history. By understanding what Jewry achieved in Poland during this time, our students can better appreciate what was lost.

The trip challenges students to draw upon their educational and life experiences as they consider the profound religious issues it raises. The trip plays a significant part in developing our students’ sense of Jewish responsibility and it has a unique impact on the quality of their relationships with one another.

Each January on Holocaust Memorial Day, these students share the knowledge and insights they have gained on their trip to Poland the previous month with pupils in the first five years of the school.
