We work hard to create a challenging, vibrant and nurturing environment that enables each child to flourish.

We believe in the traditional values of an independent school education but we also embrace exciting new practices and are able to pull the best ideas from a wide variety of sources. We aim to match the expectations of good preparatory schools around the world and many of our graduating students have gained places and even scholarships at some of the top Universities in the world such as in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.

SCHOOLS SHOULD PROMOTE LEARNING WHEREVER IT MAY HAPPEN

LEARNING PATHWAYS

We believe that this is best achieved by providing children with able, professional teachers who will get to know the students they teach.  Staff use a range of engaging learning opportunities to provide work that challenges each child to think for themselves and to participate fully in co-curricular activities such as school trips, Enrichment, Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA), Mental Health Day, International Award and a host of other exciting opportunities. We also expect students to contribute to assemblies and to engage in activities during class time.

ENRICHMENT

We aim to offer something for everyone, and encourage students to pick a range of ECAs both to develop existing skills and to develop new skills and unearth hitherto unknown talents and abilities. Our ECA offerings therefore cover a wide range of interests, including sports & fitness, mindfulness, the creative and performing arts, literature, programming, science and Academic Societies.

PASTORAL CARE

The five houses provide a wonderful opportunity for many different activities at SES. Each academic year we host house sporting and non-sporting activities. The activities not only allow students to explore their talents, they also allow them to practise and develop the character and social skills that will be of critical importance to them in later life. Parents are encouraged to develop a relationship with their son or daughter’s tutor and also their Head of House so that the school and parents can work together to help each child fulfil their potential.
