Across the Lower School we have a 1:1 iPad programme for our students. The iPads are equipped with age-appropriate apps through the different grades.

All students can purchase school lunch on an ad hoc basis. Each day, they simply choose from the hot plate, salad bar, or fridge, and pay using fingerprint of facial recognition at the till. We use a platform called ParentPay to help you manage lunch and snack payments easily. You can top up your child's school account in advance and continue adding funds throughout the term. Students who choose to bring lunch from home are welcome to do so and will eat in the Dining Room alongside their peers. Please note that we do not have any facilities to warm food for students, such as a microwave and most importantly, we are a nut and shellfish-free school.

Pastoral Care
In 2025, we implemented our ACS Egham Community Commitments and Restorative Practice. These initiatives reflect our shared vision to build a stronger, more connected school community where every student feels a sense of belonging, is supported in their learning, and is empowered to thrive.
The Egham Community Commitments emerged from a yearlong, student-driven project focused on improving behavior for learning and fostering a more inclusive and respectful school environment. We are deeply proud of our students for leading this important work, and of our entire community for embracing these commitments so wholeheartedly.
A key component of bringing the Commitments to life has been the implementation of Restorative Practice, which began in March 2025 and will continue over the next three years. We had a Restorative Practice expert came to our campus in March 2025 and she engaged with faculty, parents and 30 students leaders from Grade 4-11. Since her visit, Restorative Circles have been introduced in classrooms throughout the school, strengthening relationships, supporting wellbeing, and building trust across our learning community. These regular practices are already having a visible and positive impact on classroom culture and student engagement.
