About Rosebery School

Rosebery School’s Progress 8 score of 0.79 sits well above the Surrey local authority average of 0.26 for secondary schools, marking it as a significantly high-performing girls’ state school in Epsom and Ewell. That gap of over half a grade per subject is striking: most schools in the county cluster much closer to the average, and Rosebery’s score places it sixth out of 66 similar schools in Surrey. It also ranks second within the borough of Epsom and Ewell, behind only St Andrew’s Catholic School. Nationally, the school sits in the top 7% of all secondary schools by Progress 8, and its banding is described as “well above average.” This is a school where pupils consistently make stronger progress than their peers elsewhere, particularly in maths, where the Progress 8 score hits 0.9, and in the EBacc subjects, where it reaches 0.85.
