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'.
It became a 16-19 Academy in September 2019 and changed its name to 'Esher Sixth Form College' [1]
