Hi- looking for some advice from people who have done Emanuel year 6 as to whether you would recommend this route. We have a bright all round boy which we feel it could be a good fit for. He is currently at a lovely state with a massive range of extra curricular opportunities and is very happy.
In the last year he’s continually saying he’s bored and there seems little focus to engage the “greater depth” kids.
On the other hand I think it’s lovely to stay at your school to the end and do all the fun year 6 things & it would then give him a chance at the grammars which are much further for us but I also think he would enjoy (and are free!)
financially it would be manegable even with inflation and labour but I do wonder if the money could be better spent on other things.
If we are doing it well obviously have to start some kind of 10+ prep in the not too distant future but tricky to know when it’s all so abstract!
Connect with other parents whose children are starting secondary school on this forum.

Go to the school Open day and you can find out more and see if this the route or 11+ and grammar where the competition in London can be quite fierce.

The website says they will offer open events in the summer term Open events - Emanuel
I suggest you register on their admissions mailing list
Have you considered any other 10+ schools?
