You can apply for a secondary school place for your child for 1 September 2027 through your local authority. 

The deadline to submit your application for Year 7 entry for September 2027 is 31 October 2026.

Please note that Esher High School does not operate a catchment area for 2027 entry. Places are allocated in line with our published admissions criteria, and we strongly encourage families who are keen to join us to list Esher CofE High School as their first preference. Please refer to our admissions policy for full details.

Offers will be made by Surrey County Council on 1 March 2027. Applicants will be sent an email with their outcome, online applicants may also log onto their online account to view the outcome.

The deadline for applicants to respond to their offer is 15 March 2027.

If you are placed on the waiting list, families will be able to contact the school to find out their child's position on the list from the 24 March 2027.

Once offers have been accepted you will hear from our Transition Team, led by Deputy Headteacher Mr Allin and supported by our SENDCO, Miss Rollason, who will work together to ensure every student enjoys a smooth and positive transition to secondary school.

All Year 6 students are invited to an Induction Day, where they will meet our staff team, get to know their new peers, and begin their journey with Esher High School. We also offer a two-day Summer Camp in August, filled with fun activities and ending with a celebratory BBQ for parents and families. For parents, we host an Information Evening on the same day as the main Induction Day. Dates will be confirmed closer to the time.

Students who may feel more anxious about the move to secondary school will be offered additional support and transition opportunities to help them settle in and feel confident before September.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to the Esher High School community. For further details about the admissions process, please click this link to visit the Surrey County Council school admissions pages.
