Emmanuel CofE Middle School

Emmanuel CofE Middle School is a 9-13 Middle-deemed-Secondary school situated in the small town of Verwood, East Dorset, England. It is the only school for secondary-aged pupils in Verwood. Most pupils come from the three Verwood First schools - Verwood CofE First School, Hillside Community First School and Trinity CofE First School. On leaving Emmanuel, pupils transfer in almost equal numbers to Ferndown Upper School and Queen Elizabeth's School, Wimborne Minster.

History

Emmanuel Middle School, which opened in 1988, has Church of England Voluntary Aided School status, with both St Michael and All Angels Church, Verwood and the Diocese of Salisbury contributing to the cost of the building. Due to the rapid expansion of Verwood, the school was extended in 1993, and again in 2005 and 2008, to give a maximum capacity of some 600 pupils. The current headteacher is Mrs Jill Watson.

Emmanuel Middle School is one of the few remaining (less than 400) middle schools in England.

Uniform

The school uniform currently consists of grey/black trousers, a skirt for girls, white shirt, maroon and gold tie and maroon jumper.
