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! ... See MoreSee Less

"Fine."

"What did you do?"
"Nothing."

Is the above you with your conversations with your child after school?

Why not try some of the questions below to learn more about their day. Try to get them to answer in full sentences, with an explanation for their response.
