Epsom College in detail

Epsom College in its own words

In its own words: "Guiding everything we do at Epsom are our College values: Kindness, Ambition and Integrity. These values shape the way we relate to others and the way we conduct ourselves. They help to create a successful, harmonious community. They also act as an important reminder of our College’s philanthropic roots."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Welcome to Epsom College, and thank you for your interest in our school. As I begin my second year here, I can tell you - both as a parent and Head - that Epsom is a very special place. We’re fortunate to have beautiful grounds, wide-open spaces and excellent facilities."

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Epsom College can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
