HOMEOUR SCHOOLOPEN EVENING AND SCHOOL TOURS Open Evening and School Tours Welcome to The Emmbrook School. Dear Parents and Students, I am delighted to welcome you to The Emmbrook School. As a father of two (both at secondary school), I am acutely aware that choosing the right school is such a significant decision. This page will offer you a digital introduction to The Emmbrook. Every September, I select a quote that sums up our ambition for the year ahead; this year “Reach for the stars” – I know it’s cheesy, but it’s important to me that we all work hard to keep this school fun, caring and engaging so that every student will achieve academic and personal excellence. I hope to meet you in one form or another in the coming weeks, via our tours, during the open evenings or at one of my online morning meetings for parents. Information regarding all these events can be found below. In the meantime, if I can assist you personally, then please do contact me (nmcsweeney@emmbrook.wokingham.sch.uk). The schools in Wokingham are excellent, that should make this process easier, but somehow it makes it harder! Good luck with choosing the school that is right for you. Best wishes, Nick McSweeney New intake 2021 We are excited to welcome a new group of students to our school in September 2021.

If you would like to view this content please Allow Cookies Results 2020 At GCSE our students outperformed the national average. Over a quarter of all grades were awarded at 7-9 (equivalent to A/A*). Two thirds of students achieved a strong pass in all subjects. Our focus on academic excellence for all has resulted in outstanding individual performances, including very strong performance at the top end; impressively, on average each of our high ability students made a third of a grade more progress per subject than high ability students nationally. At A-Level, academic achievement was strong across the breadth of the curriculum. The school's strong focus on academic excellence paid dividends across a broad range of A level subjects. A significant proportion of students achieved the highest grades of A*/A in a wide range of subjects, including: English Literature, Maths, Further Maths, Media and Religious Studies.
