At ECS we know that a strong school 'community' is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer our children. When our children feel connected to the people and places around them, they grow in confide0 CommentsComment on Facebook
Match Funding – An easy way to double our school’s fundraising impact
Did you know that many employers offer match funding as part of their corporate giving programmes? This means that when a parent or carer volunteers at a fundraising event or makes a donation, their company may match the amount—sometimes even doubling it.
Match funding is one of the simplest ways to boost the money raised by our PTA. It doesn’t cost families anything extra, but it can make a huge difference to the projects and resources we’re able to provide for the children.
Companies that commonly offer match funding include banks, supermarkets, large retailers, tech firms, and many national organisations. If you’re not sure whether your employer participates, it’s always worth asking—HR departments are usually happy to help.
If you think your workplace might offer match funding, or if you’d like support with how to approach them, please get in touch with the PTA. A five‑minute conversation could unlock hundreds of pounds for our school.
Together, we can make every fundraising effort go even further for our children.
Have you checked in with your employer to see if you can get match funding for ECS and enhancing your child's education?

ECS Community Day - Saturday 7th March 2026
Get involved! It's your school too!
So how can you give something back and 'make a positive difference to ECS and the world'?
We’re excited to announce our upcoming Community Day, a wonderful opportunity for parents, carers and families to come together and support the ongoing development of our school site.
Saturday 7th March
Throughout the day, we’ll be working on a range of practical projects that make a real difference to our children’s learning environment. Whether you’re a keen gardener, handy with a paintbrush, or simply happy to lend a pair of helping hands, there will be plenty of ways to get involved. Tasks may include:
🌼 Gardening and planting
🎨 Painting and refreshing indoor and outdoor spaces
🔧 Light fixing and maintenance
🧹 Clearing and tidying shared areas
No special skills are required—just enthusiasm and a willingness to pitch in. Even an hour of your time helps enormously.
We’ll have refreshments available to keep everyone energised.
We’re super proud of our school and days like this show what we can achieve when we work together. Thank you in advance for your support and community spirit. We look forward to seeing many of you there!

A welcome from our
Headteacher
Esher Church School is a well-established and highly regarded Church of England primary academy in Esher, north west Surrey. Our vision underpins our drive to provide exceptional educational experiences for all children, equipping them with knowledge, skills and understanding to thrive in an ever-changing world. We focus on developing the whole child, encouraging each one to realise their academic and personal potential while also developing a sense of responsibility for themselves and others so they can make a difference.
Esher Church School is a faith school for all, not just a church school for Christians. We are fully inclusive of different backgrounds, faiths and abilities and welcome the diversity from across Esher and surrounding areas. Everything the school does, including the staff, governors and parents and carers focuses on the best educational experience for our children through our broad, balanced and challenging curriculum. Visitors to our school always notice the caring, safe and friendly environment which is enhanced by the children’s engagement and enthusiasm for learning in classrooms, sports fields and beyond.
We are an aspirational school, where we continuously develop our curriculum and our team to keep our teaching and learning high quality and ensure all children flourish. We work in partnership with local and national schools, both in the maintained and independent sectors, to share best practice with an uncompromised focus on learning and inspiring lifelong success.
