Sixth form college
The transformation into a sixth form college began in 1974 with the last intake of grammar school pupils. It became a wholly sixth form college in 1979, by which time it was known as Esher College and had approximately 1000 students. It has since expanded, and the 2021 prospectus describes the college as 'a community of over 1900 full-time students'.
