Epsom College

School Profile

Founded in 1853 with Royal patronage granted by Her Majesty Queen Victoria in 1855, the founder, Dr. John Propert, raised funds to build a foundation to help orphans and widows of members of the medical profession. The Royal Medical Benevolent College opened its doors in 1855, at first providing for fewer than 100 boys. Today the College numbers 720 pupils.

There has been much modernisation and extension in recent years, and the college is now very well equipped. There is a fine chapel at the centre of the college, with worship according to the Church of England. Now co-educational; girls were accepted throughout the school from 1996, after 20 years experience of a mixed sixth form. It is a school which expects pupils to aim for high academic standards and at the same time to be fully involved in the general life of an active community. Examination results are very good. It is very strong in music, art and drama. A wide range of sport and games (very many county representatives), plus a large number of clubs and societies. A substantial commitment to local community schemes.
