About Trinity School

The Trinity School of John Whitgift, usually referred to as Trinity School, is a British independent boys’ day school with a co-educational Sixth Form, located in Shirley Park, Croydon. Part of the Whitgift Foundation, it was established in 1882 as Whitgift Middle School and was a direct grant grammar school from 1945 until 1968, when it left the scheme. The present name was adopted in 1954. The school’s head is now a member of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC).

The school’s first home was in Church Road, central Croydon, and then from 1931 to 1965 it was at North End, Croydon, in the old premises of Whitgift School, which moved to Haling Park, South Croydon. The “romantic Gothic towers and verdant lawns” at North End, a building of historical significance, dominated the area, but in 1968 the whole edifice was torn down for redevelopment, despite public opposition. Today, the Whitgift Centre stands on the site, in a stark modernist contrast to the old building.

The school’s current home was built in 1965 on the site of the former Shirley Park Hotel.
