Rosebery School is an all girls comprehensive school located in Epsom, Surrey. It consists of a lower school, for those aged between 11 and 16, and a Sixth Form for those aged between 16 and 18. The school holds Specialist Mathematics and Computing College status.

History

Rosebery School is the product of the amalgamation of Rosebery Grammar School for Girls and Epsom County School for Girls. The school is heavily over subscribed, probably because it is the only girls' state school in the Surrey Educational local authority, and because it achieves high grades (GCSE results of over 80% A-C).
