Emmaus School
School summary
With just 59 pupils across its 4-16 age range, Emmaus School is among the smallest independent schools a family might consider, offering an intimate setting where every child is well known to staff. Based in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, it is mixed and non-denominational, taking pupils from reception through to GCSE. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school good overall and judged its pupils' personal development to be excellent, a notable strength for a school of this scale. Parents should be aware, however, that the inspectorate found the school did not meet all of its compliance requirements, which is worth exploring directly during a visit.

Teaching & academics
Teaching leads to GCSE qualifications, with Religious Studies and Mathematics among the more popular subjects. Around 8.5% of pupils receive SEN support, and the very small roll allows for close attention to individual progress. Families weighing academic outcomes will want to discuss recent results in detail with the school.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A tiny, close-knit school where personal development was rated excellent; the unmet compliance finding is a point to raise frankly before applying.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
