In the past 20 years the majority of our teaching spaces and facilities have been upgraded to meet the needs of our students and teachers. All teaching spaces enable students and teachers to engage with the wide range of learning activities and experiences that make learning accessible and authentic.
Our grounds include mature trees (some of which are almost 100 years old), large grassed areas, courtyards and gardens – an oasis in an urban setting.
The School has 106 teaching spaces. These include specialist science laboratories, technology workshops, art/photography suites and a media studies suite for video/audio production. Our Music Department has facilities for individual tuition and is well equipped for students to practise almost any instrument.
Our library is centrally located in the School grounds and is a welcoming environment for students and staff. It offers access to over 16,000 resources, including books, magazines, DVDs and reference material, as well as a digital collection of ebooks, audio books and research databases. There are computing, photocopying and scanning facilities available for student use, as well as a separate fiction reading room and a study area for Year 13 students.
The library is open from 7.30am to 4.00pm weekdays. Library staff also assist students with developing their information literacy, selecting resources to support learning programmes, and advising on recreational reading.
Our wireless network covers all classrooms and enables students to use their digital devices for cloud-based learning. We provide G Suite for Education and Office 365 ProPlus, which students are welcome to use on up to five devices. We also have specialised computer laboratories for Art, Technology and Music that contain the latest industry standard software.
The main entrance leads to the Marjory Adams Hall where junior and senior assemblies are held. This venue is also used for major School occasions and events.
The Hall is available for private community hire too. Click here to make a booking enquiry for your next function or event.
The Epsom House boarding facility is part of Epsom Girls Grammar School’s long boarding tradition, with full accommodation for 150 boarders.
Epsom Eats, our lunch bar is open before school, and during interval and lunchtime. With an ever-changing menu of hot and cold options, we are committed to providing delicious, healthy food for students and staff.
