Testimonials
These testimonials are an opportunity to hear from Staff and Students alike in their own words about life at Esher High School and what makes it such a special place to learn and work.
We foster great relationships with our families, here's what our parents have to say about Esher High School:
"As a governor as Esher High, I get to see - and help shape - the brilliant work that goes on behind the scenes to foster an inclusive and supportive environment that enables every single student to flourish every single day. As a parent of two children at the school, I get to see whether that’s all working in practice. And it really is; strong leadership leads to stable staffing, which in turn leads to engaged pupils, better results and a happier school environment all round. In a word, I’d describe Esher High as “welcoming” and I’d encourage anyone who’s interested in the school to pay us a visit. You’ll feel it as soon as you step through the door."
"When I first came to look around Esher High as a prospective school for my own children, I was immediately struck by the school’s warmth and by the phenomenal range of opportunities available to its students. These are both things that my own children, now students at the school, are benefitting from – and neither happens by accident! They are the outcomes of the exceptional dedication and passion of the school’s staff, of the school’s commitment to helping every young person at Esher High excel and of the clear and ambitious vision of its leadership team. Now that I am also a governor at the school, I get to see and support the amazing work that goes into creating a nurturing and enriching environment in which students are encouraged, supported and challenged to realise their full potential."
Mrs Kidd
Teacher of English & Head of Year 7
I joined Esher High School in September 2024 and from the moment I stepped into the building, I felt welcomed and wanted here. The acceptance and value that leadership show to staff is mirrored in the way the school is run and in the principles that we instil in the students. Being a head of year means I get to be responsible for my year group's interactions and their journey at Esher High School - this has shown me first hand the difference that we make, and I can see the values we talk about every day coming out in the most subtle ways. My year group make me proud to be a head of year, and I know that they represent all the hard work we do here; especially the focus we place on getting to know each student individually which is at the heart of everything we do. Esher High School is a wonderful place where students and staff alike can thrive, in a safe, positive and inclusive learning environment.
