What the school inspection says

“Pupils and parents value the ‘family feel’ of the school and how welcoming it is. Over recent years, Emmbrook has been growing rapidly. Pupils who join mid-year say that they settled quickly because of the care that they receive. Other pupils value the school’s sense of ‘community and togetherness’. Teachers are described as ‘kind’, with many pupils citing this as one of the best things about the school … In lessons pupils are focused on their learning. They benefit from the school’s recently developed, thoughtful curriculum planning. However, the school recognises that, as yet, not all pupils learn as well as they could. The school, supported by the trust, is resolute in making the identified improvements as quickly as possible.”

About the school

Coeducational Emmbrook School in Wokingham educates 1,300 girls and boys aged 11 to 18, having first been established in 1964.
The four houses are named after planets — Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus — and the system around which they revolve is integral to school life. Pupils wear ties to indicate their house.
Sixth-formers are assigned a tutor to mentor them during their A-level journey, and a healthy balance between school work and social life is encouraged. Fundraising is an integral part of sixth-form life, with pupils organising a range of events involving the whole school and giving support to the wider community.
In 2025, around a third of A-levels completed achieved A*-A and “well over half” achieved A*-B.
