Careers Statement

Everything we do for our young people at Emmanuel is rooted in our core values of Excellence, Endeavour, and Enjoyment – our 3 E’s. As part of our reward system (epraise), our values are linked to the eight employability skills.

This includes not only preparing pupils for their next steps, but also encouraging them to look further forward to what they might want to achieve in their future education and subsequent careers.

Excellence: Listening, Speaking, Leadership

We encourage excellence from every pupil, to inspire them to go beyond their own limits. This includes the highest standards of academic, moral and spiritual development whilst they are at EMS. We celebrate the values and qualities that will enable young people to thrive in whatever path their life takes.

Likewise, we also encourage pupils to aim high in their future aspirations, and to start thinking about paths to achieve the very best futures for themselves.

Endeavour: Problem-solving, Aiming high, Staying positive

In all workplaces, the ability to work hard and show resilience to go beyond what we think we are capable of is a cornerstone to success. Our desire is to build resilience in young people, whether from without or within. We believe this will stand our students in good stead when it comes to gaining entry to their chosen careers, as well as subsequently progressing to the highest levels within those careers.

Enjoyment: Creativity, Teamwork

The most successful people are those who enjoy what they do, what they contribute and/or what they create. In a world of increasingly rapid technological and social change and growing globalisation. Enjoyment in work allows for excellence and the ability to work hard no matter the challenge and enables us to thrive and adapt in any environment.
