Children progress from Embley as Renaissance individuals, formed into intellectually curious and open-minded young people who seek their personal best in all that they do and are adept at being effective navigators in a sea of change. They are successful, rounded, happy and compassionate young people who don’t think less of themselves, just think of themselves less.

Ours is a school….

Curiosity is encouraged and developed. It informs our children’s enquiry, engages their thinking and makes them adept solution finders.

  • The Compass

    HEAD'S BLOG

    In a world of change and when we can often be befuddled by choice, what we need is not a map but a way; a compass that informs and directs our journey in a challenging and changing world. 

By allowing children to be purposefully uncomfortable, they embrace experiences that provide opportunity to see the world from different perspectives.

  • Sounds wise to me

    HEAD'S BLOG

    Having that real and grounded sense of our own worth, and the worth and value of others, empowers children to make choices that are real and authentic. 

  • Prep Reading Challenge

    PREP SCHOOL NEWS

    Over the Christmas holidays, pupils from the Prep School participated in a series of reading challenges: read under a tree, in a cosy den, in the most unusual place and read as many books as you can.

To be authentically human is to engage our capacity to reason. Children develop a keen analytical awareness and an ability to discern effectively.

  • What we value

    HEAD'S BLOG

    Last week I attended a meeting of Heads from around the country. The meeting reflected on examination results, the state of university applications and the wider employability options for young people leaving school.

“Our role is to create a generation of young people who will make the world a better place. We shape children to focus on being ‘their’ best. They arrive at a destination that may seem ‘the best’ but are not complacent to settle there. An Embley education brings out a level of achievement in the children that they didn’t know they had.”

As an innovative and forward-looking school, we are purposefully suited to the challenges of the modern world. Our focus is on the formation of young people who don’t just believe in success, they live it authentically.


Beyond their own A*

Our focus is on the formation of authentic and successful young people who can become anything they want to be.

We take children beyond what statistics say they can do. Your child will leave Embley with a promising future ahead of them, a portfolio of strong academic results, a finely tuned emotional and intellectual toolkit. 

Embley is an HMC accredited school. 

 

We are a Prep, Senior School and Sixth Form as one; on one breath-taking site and with one shared vision for our children. From the early years of childhood to the final days of Sixth Form, this is a journey we are on together; each member of staff with each child in our care.

A 130 acre classroom

Learning at Embley is not contained by public exam specifications. Alongside a rich academic curriculum sits our programme of over 200 co-curricular experiences, each specifically designed to develop life-long skills that enhance learning and personal development. Set amidst a stunning 130- acre woodland campus, we believe that academic progression and personal wellbeing are enhanced by outdoor adventure, serving others, playing sport and participating in the Arts.

Adventure & Service

From learning about duty and service at our partner school in Ghana, community projects closer to home, our Combined Cadet Force and Duke of Edinburgh programme, to understanding the importance of teamwork and building resilience while sailing on Embley’s fleet of keelboats and trekking the three highest peaks in Scotland, there is nothing better

than seeing the delight on children’s faces when they are allowed to be purposefully uncomfortable and realise what they are capable of.

Sport at Embley

We don’t chase silverware, we chase performance because we believe it is the challenge to improve, the resolve to endure and the drive to succeed that inspires the journey rather than the destination. Our focus is on how we get better,

incrementally, humbly recognising how we improve and master our craft. The ‘prize’ is improvement, the silverware just acknowledges it.

The Arts

From being immersed in one of our artist in residence workshops in our purpose-built art studios, to taking to the stage in a whole school Broadway productions to a sell-out audience, or playing alongside acclaimed pianists and composers, we instil a love, appreciation and respect for the

Arts. Embley is alive with the Arts and there’s no better way to experience this than at our annual, rival to Edinburgh, Embley Fringe.
