The Good Schools Guide

The Good Schools Guide is written for parents, by parents. They visited Epsom, observed lessons, walked our grounds, inspected our facilities and took a good look in our Boarding and Day Houses. They concluded:

“You feel you’re part of a school that’s really going places – a bit like what it was like at Wellington 15 years ago… This school offers an exciting learning environment within an extensive, top-notch campus and the students are among the most inquisitive and delightful we’ve come across.”
