Rosebery House

Rosebery House

Rosebery House is one of Epsom’s girls’ houses

House obtained its name from the former Prime Minister of the UK, Lord Rosebery Archibald Primrose, whom it was named after in 1926 due to his long association with Epsom College UK. Here in ECM Rosebery is home to girls ranging from age 10-18 years. Rosebery is a House that values every individual within it, we celebrate achievement no matter how big or small and we encourage each other to do the very best they can. Being part of the Rosebery family offers girls the opportunity to develop their leadership skills within the House and the College.

Our House creates an opportunity to integrate girls of all age groups into the one House and to develop a nurturing, caring and welcoming family environment that provides a ‘home from home’. With the ‘Big Sister’ and ‘Aunty’ systems already well established in Rosebery, we have the opportunity to put those skills to good use in guiding younger girls throughout their time at Epsom.
