Beyond Emanuel

Each year, our pupils leave Emanuel with a wide variety of individual talents and ambitions in many different areas.

Our higher education destinations include Oxbridge and other top Russell Group institutions. In addition, pupils go on to drama schools such as RADA and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, art colleges such as Kingston, Camberwell College of Arts and the Royal Drawing School, music conservatoires including the Royal College of Music and universities overseas including UNC Chapel Hill, McGill and University of Minnesota.

We offer a detailed programme for planning progression, supporting pupils at every stage of their decision-making and application process. The careers department provides information and one-to-one consultations for pupils on possible routes into different industries, helps organise work placements and advises on applications for internships and apprenticeships. The careers centre is well-stocked with guidance literature and practice material for entrance examinations such as GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and ACT (American College Testing).

Year 11 pupils are invited to our annual careers convention while Upper Sixth pupils have the opportunity to apply for internships exclusive to Emanuel in the fields of finance, marketing, technology and tourism. Pupils also have access to ECON (Emanuel Careers & Opportunities Network) – a database run by the Emanuel Parents’ Association which allows pupils access to parents working in a variety of fields to offer support and advice about careers.

It is our hope that our higher education support, careers guidance, parents’ network and entrepreneurial and mentoring programmes give our pupils every chance of success in the years to come.
