Emmanuel’s Story
Emmanuel was started by five families who had a vision for learning rooted in the Christian faith. Their venture of faith led to the school starting in 1988, moving to Littlemore in 1996. Emmanuel is a school rooted in faith, hope and love, as our school song describes, and a school built by love, as our video explains.
School Song
In our 30th year, staff and children at Emmanuel composed a song which expresses what life and learning to the full means to them. We sing this at the beginning and end of each school term to the tune ‘Hyfrydol’.
We are loved by God the Father
We’re accepted through his Son
We are filled with God the Spirit
And in Christ we all are one.
So we’ll sing Emmanuel’s story
Of His garden, loved and sown
Faith is budding, hope is growing
Love is present, God with us.
We’re accepted through his Son
We are filled with God the Spirit
And in Christ we all are one.
So we’ll sing Emmanuel’s story
