Introduction

 

Basic information: Immanuel College is an independent co-ed day school in Bushey, Hertfordshire. Founded by Lord Jakobovits in 1990 with the aim of providing secular education, it features a Prep Department that was established in 2011. [1]

 

Curriculum: The academic provision in the Prep aims to expose children to as many subject areas as possible. Thus, lessons for mathematics, languages, science and humanities, among others, help children identify their strengths and progress into further education with strong qualifications. 

 

Co-curricular: The activities programme adds up to the social and educational dimension of the learning experience, catering for various interests, including LAMDA, gardening, chess, choir and sports. These and many other pursuits help extend pupils’ abilities and participation is strongly encouraged, but not compulsory. [2]

 

Pastoral care: The pastoral care system comprises class teachers, teaching assistants, specialist teachers and support staff, who place the welfare of pupils at the centre of their provision. Based on Jewish values, this aspect of the school’s offering maximises children’s self-discipline and confidence, allowing them to make healthy and positive life choices. [3]

 

Proud of its rich heritage, Immanuel boasts a warm ethos, producing well-rounded individuals who successfully navigate contemporary life. Tolerance and integrity underpin character development within its community, which, dwelling in harmony, allows children to develop strong moral values and a profound appreciation of Jewish traditions.
