ESIP (Emerging Scholars' Intervention Programme) is a Saturday School providing a safe, supportive, fun and exciting development opportunity to improve students' long term prospects.

ESIP is about social change. We work with students who are able but who may also lack opportunities or suffer disadvantage. Working to build character, capability and a sense of community, we unleash their potential, one at a time, working with individuals, through a targeted and scientific approach. This not only gives students better life chances (through resilience, higher capability, the committed drive to seize opportunities and the passion to improve) but empowers and enthuses them as agents for change to help create a more vibrant and transformed world for everyone.

ESIP is focused on four things:

  • improving aspirations,
  • improved academic results,
  • providing skills for academic and career success (increased learning capability)
  • building soundly-based confidence and resilience to cope with new challenges (increased resilience)
  • The programme runs for ten Saturdays each year at Forest School in Snaresbrook plus a weekend residential. Successful applicants are offered a place for two years (Years 8 and 9) with a further application process to enter Year Ten.

    The programme started on Saturday 1st October 2011 with girls from Plashet School, St Angela's Ursuline School and Sarah Bonnell School.
