The Nottingham Emmanuel School can be found near the banks of the river Trent in Wilford. The Nottingham Emmanuel School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided school and seeks to deliver an education in a "stimulating, learning environment which recognises the central importance of each individual and his or her relationship with others."

As a community, Emmanuel seek to put Christian principles into practice by providing a supportive environment, working with parents, their partner schools and the wider community. The school aims to "recognise each individual's God-given talents and encourage students' aspirations and create opportunities for them to become confident, responsible adults."

The school motto is "Together to learn, to grow, to serve"

The School began in September 2002 and has been using the old Wilford Meadows building since it's beginning. The school is scheduled to have a new building up by April 2008The first lessons are set to take place in the new building in June 2008. The first 6th form students began their A-Levels in September 2007..

History

The Nottingham Emmanuel School is a partnership between the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham Board of Education and the City of Nottingham Children's Services.

In 2000 a project group was established to plan a programme of consultation, including a range of feasibility studies. There was very strong support from parents for the development of another Church school and equally this proposal was also supported nationally through the recommendations made in the Dearing Report for new Church Aided Schools to be established. In 2001 a temporary Governing body was convened to set up the School.

The Nottingham Emmanuel School was so named because it reflected the belief that God was with us and that the School would be based on a Christian foundation. The Governors realised that a specifically Christian spiritual ethos in which other faith traditions were hosted within an Anglican framework was crucial to the overall purpose. This is reflected in the School's Admission Policy.

The School celebrated its official opening in 2002 with 180 students and is now full in Years 7,8, 9, 10 and 11. In September 2006 the school welcomed their fifth year of intake and this meant students for the first time were entered for public examinations at Key Stage 4. The school has a planned full size of 1150 students, including the Sixth Form in 2008/9.
