Parent Reviews
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."
Mr Dinsmore-Harris
Teacher of History & Head of House (Mimosa)
I first started at Esher High as a student in 2006 and spent 5 years at the school before leaving for sixth form and further education. My time at Esher High was fantastic and wouldn’t have been possible without the great support of my teachers and support staff, many of whom are still here. After training to be a teacher, I decided to come back to the school, and it has been a great decision. Since my time, much of the school has changed with the addition of amazing new facilities the students can enjoy (and no cold outdoor swimming pool which is a bonus). While much has changed, I feel that the school community has remained the same, being supportive and aspirational. It has been wonderful to see the students grow and develop over my two years here both in academic and in extra-curricular activities, which staff team but in particular, our wonderful PE and performing arts departments work to facilitate. I am enjoying my time as a teacher of History and Head of House (hoping for a Mimosa win) and look forward to my future here.
