The main school, with a 3-form entry, serves pupils aged 11 to 16 years, while the sixth form, a state-of-the-art facility located at The Meads, caters to pupils aged 16 to 19 years, providing an ideal environment for their continued growth and development.
In addition to these core facilities, Philip Southcote School operates satellite centres within 3 BET mainstream secondary schools, including Chertsey High School, Epsom and Ewell High School and Kings International School (a BET associate member). These centres extend the reach of Philip Southcote's specialised educational offerings and contribute to the broader educational landscape.
