We believe that the personal development and formation of individuals is the most important experience a school can bestow upon its students. Risk taking is the norm as students understand the benefits of feeling purposefully uncomfortable to become great thinkers and leaders of the next generation.

A message from our Directors of Sixth Form

“Faced with an exciting and evolving world, where factors well beyond our control will define our futures and that of the world of work, the 21st century skills of communication, collaboration, creativity and leadership should be at the heart of all education, and they are certainly at the heart of our Sixth Form at Embley.”

Our students leave Embley with a promising future ahead of them, a portfolio of strong academic results and a finely tuned emotional and intellectual toolkit. They go into the world ready to make a difference.
