Established in 2012 as the first free school in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, we are proud to be sponsored by The Emmanuel School Trust (TEST) and to be recognised as a school with a strong Christian ethos.
At Emmanuel, we celebrate the uniqueness of every child. While our Christian values underpin all that we do, we are an inclusive school that warmly welcomes pupils of all faiths and none. Our mission is to nurture, challenge, and inspire each child to flourish both academically and personally.
We are committed to working in close partnership with parents, staff, and the wider community to ensure high standards are maintained and every child is empowered to reach their full potential. Following our most recent Ofsted inspection, we are more determined than ever to build on our strengths, fostering a culture of excellence, strengthening behaviour and pastoral support, and enhancing the quality of teaching and learning throughout the school.
At the heart of our vision is a dedication to transformational leadership and a learning environment where children feel valued, confident, and equipped for future success.
We invite you to explore our website to discover more about our values, curriculum, and community. Should you wish to experience the warm and welcoming atmosphere of our school first-hand, we would be delighted to arrange a visit. Please contact the school office on 020 8520 0775 to book an appointment.
Warmest regards,
Mr Tayo Fagbemiro

A group of our year 6 children attended the Mini Tour de Waltham Forest cycling event in Jubilee Park, Leyton.
The children had the chance to improve their cycling skills and raced against other schools in a fun, friendly environment. They brought home the Trophy! We are so proud of their team work and courage.
