History
The School began in September 2002 and has been using the old Wilford Meadows building until the arrival of its completed 'new build' in late 2008. The first 6th-form students began their A-Levels in September 2007.
In 2000 a project group was established to plan a programme of consultation, including a range of feasibility studies. There was very strong support from parents for the development of another Church school and this proposal was also supported nationally through the recommendations made in the Dearing Report for new Church Aided Schools to be established. In 2001 a temporary Governing body was convened to set up the School.
The Nottingham Emmanuel School was so named because it reflects faith in God. The Governors realised that a specifically Christian spiritual ethos in which other faith traditions were hosted within an Anglican framework was crucial to the overall purpose. This is reflected in the School's Admission Policy.
The School celebrated its official opening in 2002 with 180 students and is now full in Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. In September 2006 the school welcomed their fifth year of intake and this meant students for the first time were entered for public examinations at Key Stage 4. The school has a planned full size of 1150 students, including the Sixth Form in 2008/9.
The school converted to academy status on 1 June 2013.
Previous schools
The true origins of the school, in a convoluted and chequered history, start with the Mundella Grammar School, on Colygate Road in the Meadows, which opened in 1899. The school's name came from Anthony John Mundella, a Liberal MP for Sheffield, and Sheffield Brightside. During the war, from September 1939-March 1940, the school was evacuated to Stamford, Lincolnshire. This became a comprehensive in the 1970s, keeping its former name. These school building s were demolished in 1985. The school transferred to the Roland Green Comprehensive School, which became the Wilford Meadows School. Due to its low results, this school was closed, and has now re-opened as the Nottingham Emmanuel School.
Academic performance
The school gets average results for Nottingham, but well under the England average, at GCSE. Nottingham LEA gets the lowest results in the East Midlands.
Uniform
The uniform colour was maroon with a maroon and gold logo and consisted of a jumper and polo shirt, and a fleece, with black trousers and black shoes. Now the uniform is a white shirt, black blazer with the new 'NES' logo, and a purple tie which has two stripes to representative of the students' houses. Variations in uniform are not permitted.
A change in uniform is being enforced for the year sevens of 2008/9. However, there will be a period of transition involving voluntary use of the new uniforms for the upper years.
Form tutors
Each Tutor Group of mixed ability students is attached to a Year Group and a House. The Tutor Group of approximately 30 students has its own Form Tutor who is supported by two Assistant Tutors from Year 10. The Form Tutor is responsible for supporting the students in their care in all aspects of their school life – academic, social and personal. They will be closely monitoring their academic progress in the National Curriculum through teacher assessment data and their rewards and behaviour record through the online school’s information management system. Advice and guidance can be given over any matter which might affect the individual’s work and personal development. The Form Tutor is the first point of contact for parents and students over any matter relating to school life and normally stays with their tutor group from Year 7 – 11 to ensure continuity of pastoral care and support throughout their school career.
Achievement and pastoral managers
All of the Tutor Groups and Form Tutors are managed by the Achievement and Pastoral Manager. This person is responsible for co-ordinating the work of the Year group and monitoring overall academic progress. They co-ordinate intervention programmes and ensure that the whole year group work together effectively and maintain high standards of behaviour. The Achievement and Pastoral Manager is available to support parents and tutors in more serious matters of concern relating to any aspect of school life or when initial attempts to resolve issues with the tutor or subject teacher have not been successful.
Heads of house
The Nottingham Emmanuel School has a house system the houses are represented by colours: Red, Blue, Yellow and Green.
Special educational needs
The SENCo is responsible for the leadership and management of Special Educational Needs provision across the School. Specialist support for students is identified in collaboration with staff and parents and where appropriate, outlined in a student tracking document which details the SEN profile of the student and tracks academic progress against agreed targets. This enables students and staff to work collectively on specific targets that can be monitored on a regular basis.
