Welcome from the
Headteacher
Welcome to Emmanuel Anglican/Methodist Junior Academy, a caring and welcoming Christian school at the heart of the Waterthorpe community in Sheffield. As a joint Anglican and Methodist school, we are proud of our strong Christian foundation, our commitment to inclusion and our ambition for every child to flourish and succeed.
At Emmanuel, our vision is rooted in the Christian call to love God and serve others through lives of compassion, justice and generosity. We are inspired by the words attributed to John Wesley:
"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can."
Our key biblical text is:
"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people." (Galatians 6:10)
This vision shapes everything we do. We want every member of our school community to recognise opportunities to make a positive difference in the lives of others, both within school and beyond. We strive to develop children who are confident, compassionate and courageous, who value themselves and others, who keep themselves and others safe, and who use their gifts to serve their community and the wider world.
Our school values are simple, memorable and central to daily life:
