This Giving Day, our community is coming together to support two exciting projects in 2026, that will make a lasting difference for our students.
At the Junior School, we’re raising funds to create imaginative new playgrounds - vibrant spaces that spark creativity, encourage active play and help friendships flourish.
At the Senior School, we’re raising funds to create outdoor wellbeing spaces with calm, restorative environments where students can pause, reflect and reconnect.
With your support, these spaces will become a lasting part of their school journey and a legacy for generations of students to come.
Get involved in Giving Day on 1 October and help create spaces that will support generations of ESMS students - a legacy built one step at a time
. #ESMSGivingDay
Your generosity will help us build environments that nurture both the energy and the wellbeing of our students, ensuring that every student has the chance to thrive. Together, we can create spaces where memories are made, friendships grow and wellbeing is nurtured.
On Giving Day, our students will be leading the way towards 2026!
- From Nursery to P6, students will work together to complete an incredible 2,026 miles
- Each year group from P7 to S3 will aim to complete 26 minutes of dance and movement
- Students in S4 to S6 will be taking on individual physical challenges themed around the number 26, from 26-minute workouts to collective 26-mile challenges
We’re calling on the entire ESMS community to be part of this special day. Wherever you are in the world, please make a gift to the appeal. Every gift will show our students that we are behind them all the way.
We would love you to take on your own ‘26’ challenge, whether it’s 26 minutes of activity, 2.6 miles walked, or even 26 yoga poses, upload to social media and tag us with #ESMSGivingDay.
Every Step Matters and every gift brings us closer to our goal - let’s make a difference together!
By sponsoring the students and joining in yourself, you can help raise vital funds for the new playgrounds and outdoor wellbeing spaces that will benefit every student at ESM for years to come. Together, we can turn our collective energy and enthusiasm into a legacy, that will support the future of our school community.
