History
In 2008 the school was put in special measures following a critical Ofsted report. The school was again inspected in 2010 in which the outcome was very positive with Ofsted saying the school had gone from being in "Special Measures" to 'Good with outstanding features'. In September 2010 the school was designated as a specialist Language College. In 2011, the school changed its House Names from famous historical people to Olympic athletes. Keller, Edison, Picasso, Darwin and Luther King were replaced by Hoy, Redgrave, Thompson and Holmes.
Bourne Education Trust
In October 2011 Epsom and Ewell High School converted to academy status. The school is now part of the Bourne Education Trust, a Surrey-based multi-academy trust which includes Jubilee High School, Matthew Arnold School, Pyrcroft Grange Primary School, Sayes Court Primary School and Sythwood Primary School. Epsom and Ewell High School acts as the lead school of the trust.
As of September 2017, James Newman will be taking over as Head of School, with Alex Russell acting as Executive Headteacher.

Epsom and Ewell High School is the only school in Surrey that has its own Hearing Resource Base, helping children with hearing difficulties or deafness. By 2020, Epsom and Ewell aim to increase the Hearing Resource Base (HRB) and bring in more funding for it.
