Whitgift School

Founded by John Whitgift. It was originally located in North End, Croydon and moved to its current site, Haling Park in 1931. Between 1871 and 1946 it was known as Whitgift Grammar School, after which it relinquished its direct grant and became a fully independent school under its current name.
