Clubs & societies

There are over 70 clubs and societies for pupils to get involved in. Our clubs and societies help to foster passions, develop friendships and give pupils a chance to lead and enjoy group activities with like-minded peers from across year groups.

Details of all of our clubs and societies are available near the beginning of the autumn term, when we hold an annual clubs and societies fair to promote all of the activities pupils can get involved in. All pupils are encouraged to participate in some of these additional activities and, most of all, to have fun!

Pupils from Year 8 onwards and their parents are welcome to join the Emanuel School Boat Club Supporters (ESBCS), which provides social, catering and fundraising support for our crews at home and away.

Pupils in Year 9 have the opportunity to become involved in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, which has a tradition of developing confidence, teamwork and determination. The award is very popular at Emanuel with over 150 pupils currently taking part. The school runs the award at Bronze and Silver levels. We do not offer Gold at Emanuel, but it is available via an external supplier (Activ Adventures Ltd).

Each award has four sections. As well as completing a practice and an assessed expedition, pupils are encouraged to take up or continue with hobbies which can contribute to the award.
