Esher Church School is a faith school for all, not just a church school for Christians.
Our admissions criteria does not require any family living in our surrounding areas to have regular church attendance or for a church reference from a member of the clergy, allowing all families the opportunity to become a member of our wonderful school.
We warmly welcome any family who have any faith and those who have no faith. As a school, as part of our curriculum, we proudly teach and celebrate the similarities and differences between all major religions and beliefs, ensuring that all children are taught and live personal values, including confidence, respect and responsibility in order to be a proactive and positive member of the global community and, ultimately, make a difference.
We are a fully inclusive school, where we celebrate different backgrounds, faiths and abilities, representing the diversity of modern society and create a positive learning environment for all to flourish.
