Founded in 1988, Emmanuel Christian School is a non-denominational, evangelical day school located in Littlemore on the edge of Oxford. It is a small co-educational school for pupils aged from three to 11 years of age. The pupils come from a wide range of White British and minority ethnic backgrounds. A small number of pupils speak English as an additional language. There are currently 76 pupils on roll, taught in a Nursery class, a Reception class, and three combined Years 1 and 2, Years 3 and 4, and Years 5 and 6 classes. Children attend the Nursery on a part-time basis and become full time when they join Reception. There are no pupils with a statement of special educational needs, but there are others who have been identified by the school as needing additional learning or emotional support. The school was last inspected in December 2009. The school’s mission statement is ‘to support parents in their task of preparing their children for a place in society by providing good quality education through a broad curriculum and to promote an understanding of the natural world and society from a biblical perspective, within a loving ethos which is nurturing of Christian discipleship’.
