College Tours are a great way to see the College and get a feel for what Esher is like on a normal college day. Our guided tours take you around the campus while lessons are taking place and students are going about their daily routines.

What to expect from a College Tour

Your College Tour will last approximately 45 minutes, although we’d recommend allowing around an hour for any questions you may have at the end.

Tours are taken in small groups of up to six student applicants. To accommodate as many students as possible, and to minimise disruption to classes, we ask that only one parent/carer accompanies their child.

“Thank you, we really appreciated the time you took to show us around and answer all our questions. Having missed the open day, it meant my son had the opportunity to find out all the benefits of Esher and understand more about the college before his interview.”

What do visitors think?

“Great to see the college ‘live in action’ and see all the facilities and options available. The College had a really nice feel, and felt very inclusive, supportive, open and airy. Doing the tour has been hugely beneficial, as our daughter has gone from ‘not thinking she would fit in’ to now ‘OMG I need to make sure I get the grades to go to Esher1!’ – so a massive thank you”

What do visitors think?

“The tour was absolutely excellent in every regard. I was particularly impressed by the welcoming and positive atmosphere throughout the campus. All the teachers and students we encountered were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clearly proud to be part of the College. The facilities are outstanding, and the focus on both academic achievement and student well-being truly stood out. Thank you for a fantastic and very informative experience.”

What do visitors think?

“My daughter and I found the tour to be the perfect length. Very informative and it showcased the facilities well. Having a small group of potential students (and their parents) made it a much better experience than if there had been a lot of people. The information was exceptionally good…It can be quite daunting for the students and our experience was very good and alleviated any concerns.”
