Epsom College

The school was founded in 1853 by John Propert as the Royal Medical Benevolent College, with the aim to provide accommodation for pensioned medical doctors or their widows and to provide a "liberal education" to 100{{nbsp}}sons of "duly qualified medical men" for £25 each year.Taken from notes of the First General Meeting 25 June 1851, quoted in Salmon 1980: 4

The establishment of the college was the culmination of a campaign begun in 1844 by the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association, the forerunner of the British Medical Association.Salmon 1980: 2 The scheme saw the medical profession was "in regard to charitable institutions for the aged and infirm, the widow and the orphan, the worst provided of all professions and callings" and took as its aim the alleviating of poverty and debt.British Medical Journal, 1851, Scadding 2004: 5 Discussions were chaired by Sir John Forbes, Physician to Prince Albert and the Royal Household, and followed similar plans establishing schools for the Clergy and the Royal Navy in desiring to raise money to found "schools for the sons of medical men", providing an education which would otherwise be "beyond the means of many parents".1844 prospectus, quoted in Scadding 2004: 6

By 1851, the Medical Benevolent Society had limited itself to the foundation of a single Benevolent College and met in Treasurer John Propert's house in New Cavendish Street, Marylebone.Scadding 2004: 8–12 The new campaign's fund-raising activities included dinners, which numerous doctors and Members of Parliament attended, and concerts, for example at one such event, on 4 July 1855, composer Hector Berlioz conducted the UK premiere of his symphonic suite Harold in Italy.Scadding 2004: 12Salmon 1980: 8

The foundation stone was laid on 6 July 1853. Almost two years later, on 25 June 1855, the college was formally opened by Prince Albert and his son, the future King Edward VII, in front of an unexpectedly large crowd of around 6,000.Salmon 1980: 11 In March 1855, Queen Victoria consented to become patron, and the school's relationship with British monarchs has continued since. King Edward VII became patron after the death of his mother, followed by King George V in 1936,Salmon 1980: 35 King George VI in 1937,Salmon 1980: 48 and Queen Elizabeth II.

In 1980, it was estimated by a history of the college that a third of its 10,000 alumni had entered the medical profession.Salmon 1980: 64

It was founded in 1855 to support poor members of the medical profession. Funding for such a bold undertaking proved inadequate, resulting in a reduced number of buildings and insufficient space to support 100 pensioners and 100 boys. In the 1860s, partially due to this, the school was opened up to children of non-medical parents. In subsequent decades, pensioners were supported off-site until there were none on campus by the end of the 19th century. These moves mark the transition towards the college becoming a public school in the modern sense. File:Epsom College Pupils 1860 - 2006.jpg

The college continued its charitable activities, alongside its strictly educational role, throughout the 20th century. It was only in 2000 that the Royal Medical Foundation was formed as a separate entity, funding the support of four Foundationers at the college, 27 outside it, and paying 20 pensions and supporting one doctor at a medical home.Scadding 2004: 133

In the 1920s, the junior school side was run down, and thereafter the college catered only for 13- to 18-year-olds. In 1976, girls were first allowed into the sixth form. The school became fully co-educational in September 1996.{{cite news |date= 7 September 1996 |title= Epsom College |work= Daily Telegraph |page= 21 |issue= 43921 }}

Its campus is on the outskirts of Epsom, near Epsom Downs on the North Downs, near the racecourse, home to the annual Epsom Derby. Its buildings date from 1853 and are mostly influenced by the Gothic revival architecture, described by Prince Albert as the "pointed style of the 14th Century".Prince Albert, quoted by a contemporary newspaper account, Scadding 2004: 19

St Luke's Chapel was designed by Arthur Blomfield to replace the existing chapel, which the school had outgrown. Built of red brick with ashlar dressings and a slate roof, the building was consecrated in October 1896.{{cite news |title= News Summary |date= 31 October 1896 |work= Surrey Advertiser and County Times |volume= XLV |issue= 4320 |page= 4}} In February 1925, the nave was extended and dedicated as a memorial to the 140 former pupils who died in the First World War.{{cite news |title= Epsom College: Memorial nave dedicated |date= 26 February 1925 |work= Sutton Advertiser and Surrey County Reporter |issue= 2937 |page= 7 }} In 1974, the main school building and the chapel attained Grade II listed status.

{{Main|Independent school fee fixing scandal}}

In 2005 the school was one of fifty of the country's leading independent schools which were found guilty of running an illegal price-fixing cartel, exposed by The Times newspaper, although the schools made clear that they had not realised that the change to the law (which had happened only a few months earlier) about the sharing of information had subsequently made it an offence.{{cite news |author=Times Journalist |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/education/article588559.ece |title=Independent schools face huge fines over cartel to fix fees |work=The Times |access-date=12 June 2014 |archive-date=7 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081007080058/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/education/article588559.ece |url-status=dead }} Each school was required to pay a nominal penalty of £10,000 and all agreed to make ex-gratia payments totalling three million pounds into a trust designed to benefit pupils who attended the schools during the period in respect of which fee information was shared.{{Cite web |url=http://www.oft.gov.uk/news/press/2006/182-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080610055129/http://www.oft.gov.uk/news/press/2006/182-06|url-status=dead |title=The Office of Fair Trading: OFT names further trustees as part of the independent schools settlement|archive-date=10 June 2008}}

Jean Scott, the then-head of the Independent Schools Council, said that independent schools had always been exempt from anti-cartel rules applied to business, were following a long-established procedure in sharing the information with each other, and that they were unaware of the change to the law (on which they had not been consulted). She wrote to John Vickers, the OFT director-general, saying, "They are not a group of businessmen meeting behind closed doors to fix the price of their products to the disadvantage of the consumer. They are schools that have quite openly continued to follow a long-established practice because they were unaware that the law had changed".{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1455730/Private-schools-send-papers-to-fee-fixing-inquiry.html |title=Private schools send papers to fee-fixing inquiry |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |date=3 January 2004 |access-date=15 March 2010 |archive-date=25 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130625070958/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1455730/Private-schools-send-papers-to-fee-fixing-inquiry.html |url-status=live }}

In 2021, a regulatory compliance inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate found that the college was not meeting its statutory requirements in respect of safeguarding, safeguarding of boarders, behaviour and measures to prevent bullying, and that the standards relating to leadership and management of the school were not met. A short visit the following year after the appointment of a new head (Emma Pattison) focusing on these issues found that they had been rectified and the standards were now met.{{cite web | url=https://www.isi.net/school/epsom-college-6437 | title=Epsom College :: Independent Schools Inspectorate }}{{Cite web |date=December 2021 |title=Regulatory Compliance Inspection Report For Schools With Residential Provision - Epsom College December 2021 |url=https://reports.isi.net/DownloadReport.aspx?t=c&r=ADD6437_20211208.pdf&s=6437 |access-date=7 May 2023 |website=Independent Schools Inspectorate}}

House colours are seen in the stripes in the ties worn by the majority of boys (those not wearing colours or prefects' ties); on a rectangular brooch occasionally worn by the girls; and at the neck of girls' school pullovers. They are also used in house rugby and athletics tops. Each house occupies its own building, and they compete with each other in several inter house competitions throughout the year. Propert is regarded as being the college’s original and premier house, with it being named after the College’s founder Dr John Propert.

In addition to the senior school houses, students in the lower school (years 7 and 8) also have houses that act as their primary classes for both years of their lower school life.{{Cite web |title=Lower School |url=https://www.epsomcollege.org.uk/learning/lower-school/ |access-date=2024-07-13 |website=Epsom College |language=en-GB}} These houses are: Wardroper, Hutchinson, Glyn Hughes, Jeffrey and Doudney. Unlike senior school houses, they do not have their own building and do not participate in senior school events.

Association football became the major sport for boys in the Lent Term in 2014. Previously the sport was an option and played at Sixth Form level only. Now it is played across all age groups from Under 12 to U18. The college is currently part of the Southern Independent Schools Lent Term League. The first team won the 23/24 ISFA trophy.

The school lent its name to the thirty-eighth steam locomotive (Engine 937) in the Southern Railway's Class V, of which there were 40. This class was also known as the Schools Class because all 40 of the class were named after prominent English public schools. 'Epsom', as it was called, was built in 1934. The locomotive bearing the school's name was withdrawn in the early 1960s.{{sfn|Swift|2006|pp=81, 93}}
