Parent Involvement | Epsom College

We want parents and guardians to be closely involved in the life of Epsom College. Part of what makes this College special, is its strong sense of community. You are always welcome at all concerts, plays, performances and productions. School fixtures, on Saturday mornings but also sometimes mid-week, are all the better with parents cheering from the touchline.

For the most up-to-date events please check the School Calendar by clicking here.

You will also receive our weekly email – The Thursday Post – that outlines all upcoming events, notices and information relating to your child’s school year, as well as any whole school notices.

We are also active across social media and urge you to follow us on Twitter:

Friends of Epsom College

Founded in 1976, the Friends of Epsom College is a society made up of parents, former parents and others connected to the College.

On joining Epsom College, all parents automatically become members of the Friends of Epsom College. Membership is free and entitles parents and their friends to enjoy the many social functions organised throughout the year by the Friends’ Committee.

Each year there is a range of events to suit all tastes. Past events have included an ABBA Night, Tom Jones Evening, Summer Pimms and Jazz party, Race Nights, Summer Dinner Dance at the Royal Automobile Club, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Wine Tasting, French Soiree and Drinks Parties. We also organise an annual Burns Supper in January and a Quiz Night later in the Lent Term.

We aim to ensure that these events are good value, as well as providing quality entertainment for the wider College community, including parents, past parents and their friends and the Common Room.

These social events are not linked to any fundraising activities, although any surplus monies raised are put towards suitable College projects.

Recently, money raised by the Friends has purchased an electric golf buggy for use onsite, contributed to bursaries for academic endeavours and supported sports tours. Further details are available from Sue Church-Jones by emailing foec@epsomcollege.org.uk

Epsom College Parents’ Sports Club

This club is for the parents of current and past pupils and their guests, allowing them to take advantage of the excellent sports facilities of the College most Saturday mornings throughout the year (including College holidays).

Members can retain their membership for long after their children have completed their schooling.

Epsom College Choral Society

Many parents and friends of the College have taken part in the Epsom College Choral Society over the years, and we warmly welcome you to get involved. There is no need to audition and there is a membership fee of £40 per year.

The Choral Society rehearse on Tuesday evenings in Big School 8-9.15pm. Rehearsals begin in September, and continue in term time until the concert, accompanied by a full orchestra and soloists, which usually takes play in late January.
