It is an exciting time for Immanuel College, which is welcoming extensive investment and a highly experienced governing body, led by esteemed chair Aaron Etingen. Together, the governors will bring huge influence and innovation from modern international education to push Immanuel College forward into the next chapter.
Since its foundation 35 years ago, Immanuel College has prided itself on its three strong pillars of excellence; delivering brilliant academic outcomes, exceptional pastoral support and an enriching Jewish curriculum.
Last year’s A-level outcomes were 89 per cent A*-B equivalent, achieved across all A-level and BTEC exams, while GCSE results were 71.4 per cent grade 9-7. The art and photography departments continue to produce the top national results, reaching 100 per cent A-A* at A-level, and 100 per cent grade 9 at GCSE.
Some 83 per cent of students applying to university secured their first-choice destination. Immanuel College’s value added results show it outperforming independent school GCSE averages by 0.84. As the 2026 results beckon, Immanuel anticipates continuing to excel.
Yet these academic outcomes are borne out of a holistic and personalised education that values the limitless potential of each student. Dedicated teachers and a secure pastoral structure ensure each student is known, recognised and celebrated, while an inclusive learning support department ensures challenges are met with solutions and understanding. In the classroom and beyond, Jewish learning permeates the school, with students finding joy and pride in their Jewish heritage.
Looking forward to the future, there is much to be proud of and much to continue to build. With a new sixth form block for September 2026, funding for scholarships, award-winning mentorship and internships arranged for students, and an enriched alumni programme, come and be part of the next chapter.
