They compete in sporting events, including football, cricket, netball, rugby and rounders, as well as during sports day. Other competitions contribute points to the house competition, including dance, music, and the merits collected by Key Stage Three pupils. An E-Sports day was held on 25 February 2020 with representatives from each year group competing in a GoldenEye 007 tournament on the Nintendo 64 platform. Between 2009 and 2019 the house names changed to Aqua (Blue), Atmos (Yellow), Terra (Green) and Solar (Red). This was reverted after a consultation with students, parents and staff. == Curriculum ==

In 2025, The Emmbrook School achieved notable success by becoming County Champions in the prestigious Magistrates’ Mock Trial Competition, demonstrating the strength of its civic education and public speaking programmes. The school’s commitment to holistic development is further reflected in its extensive extra-curricular provision, particularly within the Physical Education department, which runs a wide variety of clubs and competitive fixtures on most days after school. These activities support student wellbeing, teamwork, and skill development, and are open to all year groups, reinforcing the school’s inclusive ethos. == Music Concerts ==

The Emmbrook School, along with Maiden Erlegh and Charters School, co-owns an outdoor education residential centre located in the Welsh village of Tirabad, Powys. Students from years 7-10 and the Sixth Form have the opportunity to spend a week at the centre once a year. The centre's activities are climbing, sailing, canoeing, caving, orienteering, environmental and field studies. Sixth Form students from the three trust schools (Emmbrook, Maiden Erlegh, and Charters) jointly support the annual New Futures trip, in which students with disabilities travel to Tirabad. These volunteer students raise funds through charity work and then attend the trip to provide support for the younger children. On 26 February 2021, a letter was sent to parents stating that Tyr Abad Residential Educational Trust was entering voluntary liquidation. == Headteachers ==

There have been 6 Headteachers and 1 acting Headteacher during the school's lifetime ==References==
