Mr Elliott

Head of RE, Citizenship & PSHE

During my time here at Esher High School, I have grown both as a teacher and a leader. The school’s commitment to my professional development has played a huge role in shaping my teaching practice and leadership skills. Through high-quality CPD opportunities, I have been able to refine my approach in the classroom and help students improve their academic progress, while also taking on new responsibilities that allow me to support both students and my colleagues effectively. As a Religious Education teacher, I love helping students develop their own sense of purpose and moral compass while exploring different perspectives. Teaching Citizenship has also been incredibly rewarding, as it empowers students to understand and engage with society in a meaningful way. Our school’s warm/strict approach creates an environment where students feel encouraged, supported and safe. High expectations, combined with strong relationships, help them to thrive academically and personally. The school is deeply committed to inclusivity, ensuring that every student feels valued and supported in both their learning and wellbeing. This same culture of support extends to staff, and I have felt it firsthand in my journey as a middle leader. The encouragement I have received to develop my skills and take on new challenges has been invaluable to my team and the students. Esher High School is a place that reflects, evolves, and truly supports its community—professionally, academically, and pastorally. Whether you are a teacher looking to grow in your career or a student eager to learn in a supportive environment, this school provides a strong foundation for success, and I am honoured to be part of it.
