Emmaus School
Trowbridge, Wiltshire, South West · BA14 6NZ
With just 59 pupils across an age range from 4 to 16, Emmaus School is a notably small independent in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, where children are likely to be known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school "good" overall and judged its provision for personal development "excellent" - a sign of real care for pupils as people. Parents should be aware, however, that the same inspection found the school did not meet compliance requirements, an area worth raising directly during a visit. The school is non-denominational and takes pupils through to GCSE at 16.

Teaching & academics
Emmaus offers GCSEs, with Religious Studies and Mathematics among its more popular subjects. Measured outcomes sit well below national benchmarks: the average Attainment 8 score is 30, against a national average of 46.9, and the proportion gaining grade 5 or above in English and Maths is reported as 0%, compared with 47% nationally. These figures come from a very small cohort, where a handful of pupils can move the numbers sharply, but they bear careful discussion with the school. Around 8 percent of pupils receive SEN support.

The last word
A small, personal school where pastoral strengths are clearly recognised - though its academic results and unmet compliance findings deserve close questions from any prospective family.
