Facilities

Committed teaching and non-teaching staff are the chief asset in guaranteeing the quality of education that EmeraldField provides. The physical environment in which they operate is important too, both in attracting and retaining them and in making it possible for students and pupils to be taught in pleasant and well-equipped spaces. We have a well-planned development programme, which ensures that buildings are periodically modernized, and new ones provided where necessary. Within the buildings themselves, the provision of the right equipment and the appropriate use of computer-technology are seen as high priorities. The clear objectives are to allow us at all times to deploy best practice in our teaching and to provide for appropriate out-of-school use by our pupils and students.

Achievement is encouraged and recognized by an extensive set of academic prizes.

There are approximately 60 full-time teaching staff and support staff in EmeraldField giving a pupil-teacher ratio of 10:1. We also invite expertise in music and dance to support our dance and music clubs. There are qualified staff in our special needs centre who help those few pupils diagnosed with learning difficulties, and many others — librarians, computing experts, technicians, maintenance staff, etc — who provide the support essential to any successful schemes of teaching and learning.
