Parent & External Endorsements
We believe that Ewell Castle is a great School, but don't just take our word for it. Here is some recent feedback that some of our parents have shared with us about their/their child's experience at the School during the 2024/25 academic year.
2025 Spring Term - Parent Feedback
| "[child] is generally quite anxious but seems generally happier than at his previous school where his needs weren't being met. Although he isn't a natural sportsman, he enjoys games and forest school and time spent in nature." | Year 3 Parent |
| "[teacher] really gets [child], [teacher] reallys knows the children. ECS have been extremely accommodating and [teachers] have shown real compassion." | Year 3 Parent |
| "ECS Prep is delivering as a 'smaller', nicer, kinder, more nurturing, more relaxed school." | Year 4 Parent |
| "[child] is enjoying his time at ECS. His motivation is high. He is quite shy but talks about the Tennis all the time at home." | Year 5 Parent |
| "He's a different child since he moved from [previous school] to Ewell Castle. He is thriving, communicative, chatty. He talks about school and is engaged. He is happy, relaxed, not as anxious. The level of work is just right for him. He is able to access the curriculum in a way that he couldn't at his previous school, where he was scarred to get involved. He has great rapport with his teachers." | Year 6 Parent |
| Family "chose ECS on account of the 'inclusivity' of the sport, that everyone gets to play on a team if they want to." | Year 7 Parent |
| "[child] is excited to come to school, loving all the sport, especially football and pre season cricket." | Year 7 Parent |
| Family "have found the school to be nurturing, [child] needed a smaller school as [child] is quite shy." | Year 7 Parent |
| "[child] likes that the school isn't too big and classes are smaller than other independent schools." | Year 7 Parent |
| Parent believes "Ewell Castle get the measure of a pupil, and what they're about." | Year 9 Parent |
| "ECS is a very nurturing school." | Year 10 Parent |
| "A really positive change for [child] moving from his previous school ... he is growing in confidence, responding to more time and acccess to teachers. A little bit more support makes a big difference. The Sixth Form isn't draconion or heavy handed with discipline, students are treated with respectand they respond positively to that approach, unlike at his previous school which handed out sanctions more harshly." | Year 12 Parent |
| "[child] loves the school, [child] is going from strength to strength and family members have seen a difference in her since she joined. She talks excitedly about what she's learning and about her teachers. [teachers] clearly really spend time getting to know them and the size of classes really helps too." | Year 12 Parent |
| "[child] has been overhead talking to family friends 'I love my school'. ECS has given [child] a sense of purpose, it has normalised the will to do well and aim high. She is reaching her potential. ECS gives [child] a sense of being valued and invested in." | Year 12 Parent |

| "Thank you all for the support you have shown (child's name) during his first year at Ewell Castle Prep. You have made him feel welcomed and valued. Your collective efforts towards a holistic approach to his education is appreciated. Special thanks for your nurturing support when he broke his arm. We deeply appreciate the sense of belonging and community that we feel at the Prep School." Year 3 Prep Parent. |
| "Just a quick email to say how impressed I am with how much (child's name) has progressed so far this year, since starting in your class in year 2. Last year he struggled with cursive writing and now it’s fully cursive every time he writes. I’ve also noticed when he does his S&S how much his maths has improved, his mental arithmetic has become so quick. In addition, which is so important to me, he is so happy in your class and goes into school everyday with a smile on his face, excited for the day ahead.... It's
really lovely watching how much he’s grown in confidence this school year to date." Year 2 Prep Parent. |
