Daily School Life
Emanuel teaches Monday to Friday, the school day beginning at 08.30 and ending at 15.45. Saturdays are also utilised for sporting fixtures, events and detentions, with Wednesday afternoons reserved for senior sports fixtures also. There are daily assemblies, including one Chapel assembly a week across each year group, and weekly house meetings. Termly headmaster's addresses are given at the beginning and end of each of three terms, common in the British educational system.
Uniform is worn from Hill to Year Eleven, and consists of a navy blazer, white shirt, school tie, charcoal grey trousers and black shoes. Girls' uniform consists of a navy blazer with a blue blouse and navy skirt or trousers. Whilst exempt from uniform, the Sixth Form has its own formal dress code, requiring students to wear a grey, blue or black conventional, two or three-piece business suit, shirt and tie, or female equivalent.

Famous quotes containing the words daily, school and/or life:
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I’m a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I’ve always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself.”
—Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)
