As an HMC school, Epsom is proud of its rich history and confident in its future. Under the leadership of Headmaster Jay Piggot, ambitious plans to strengthen the school’s competitive UK position and international links – particularly, Epsom College in Malaysia - continue to grow apace, thus maintaining and enhancing the College’s global reputation.

The School now has more pupils than ever before and the number is rising. 3 Academic Life A strong academic focus is at the heart of the College and is based on the principles of encouraging lifelong learning, independence and a culture of intellectual curiosity. Supported by well qualified and inspirational staff, pupils are challenged to question, to be reflective and to develop the life of the mind. With its medical heritage, the College is renowned for its excellence in the sciences and this now extends to all areas of its broad academic curriculum. The curriculum begins in the new Lower School with a varied and balanced range of subjects. Alongside traditional subjects, pupils choose from four modern languages (including Mandarin) and follow innovative courses and STEM projects. All pupils entering the school at 11+ are issued with an iPad to transform their learning and organisation. At 13+, pupils study a curriculum that includes three separate sciences, computing, music, art, drama and design technology. Pupils will work towards ten GCSE subjects and in many subjects IGCSEs have been introduced to provide a more rigorous preparation for A-level study. In the Sixth Form, the curriculum has been fully updated to offer a greater choice of subject combinations, to meet the needs of specialists as well as generalists. Most pupils follow a course of three subjects to A-level and will also choose an option from the core curriculum which contains subjects such as Global Perspectives, Extended Project, Core Mathematics and English. The curriculum has been designed to stretch pupils beyond the scope of traditional A-level specifications and to prepare them for university study and for life. In the last few years, Epsom has consistently achieved high value-added scores at both GCSE and A-level. The vast majority of Sixth Form leavers move onto higher education with the majority earning places at leading Russell Group universities. The College is strongly committed to the development of its teaching and learning, investing in exceptional academic facilities and learning resources, and in high quality professional development. Epsom College prides itself on delivering an all-round education and learning experience, encouraging students to stretch themselves in an environment of high intellectual energy. 4 Pastoral Care Epsom prides itself on delivering the highest standards of pastoral care. The close-knit House system is crucial to day-to-day life at the College, forming a home away from home for all pupils. Over 60 per cent of Epsom’s staff reside on, or very close to, the campus. Each Boarding House is home to a Housemaster or Housemistress and their family, complementing the relaxed and homely feel that typifies the school’s strong boarding ethos. Pastoral care is further strengthened by dedicated House Tutors, who closely monitor pupils’ academic progress and social development. There are 13 Houses – four boarding and three day Houses for boys; and two boarding and four day Houses for girls. Each House is supported by a Matron and a full team of dedicated domestic staff, who are always on hand to care for the pupils’ welfare and practical needs. Senior House prefects serve as positive role models and mentors for the younger year groups and together they form one family whose strength lies in the emphasis it places on discipline, tolerance and understanding of others. Communication between staff and parents is frequent and constructive. Staff are conscious of the commitment they have to parents and to providing a regular link between home and school. Keeping parents fully involved and informed on their child’s progress, and of significant developments in the wider College community is of paramount importance. There is a healthy rivalry in the form of popular inter-House competitions. Houses compete against each other in a number of activities, including a variety of sports and the annual Choral Competition. Each House also arranges soirées and trips out, further contributing to a sense of belonging. 5 Co-curricular There is a plethora of co-curricular activities available to pupils, Music is a vital aspect of life at Epsom College and the College catering for all interests and talents.

  • Spring Newsletter 2019 (No 58)
    Spring Newsletter 2019 (no 58) Message from the Chairman Connecting up with young people Over the years one of the main aims of the Town-Twinning Association has been to foster links between young people in the respective communities of Epsom and Ewell and Chantilly. This has not always been an easy task, for various reasons, but in the past few weeks I am pleased to say there have been some positive developments. With the kind assistance of our contact Marie-Claude Fontaine, Ewell Grove primary has made contact with an equivalent age range school, the École Paul Cezanne, in Chantilly. Teachers at the two schools have been working on ways that the children might enhance their language skills through mutual communications and it seems that this will get off the ground this coming September. Another Chantilly school, the École du Coq Chantant, has also expressed interest and there have been some communications with St Martin’s in Epsom. I’m assured that teachers at St Martin’s are ‘on the case’. I hope to have updates on both these encouraging contacts in the next newsletter. In February, Town-Twinning once again supported Epsom Rotary’s French-speaking Competition, which this year saw contestants from the upper and lower schools at Blenheim High School, Rosebery and Epsom College take part. The standard was very high and judging to find the winners was not easy. But the main thing was that all the young people clearly enjoyed taking part and speaking French. Let’s hope that for 2020 we can encourage a few more schools, and some more boys, to take part.
