Founded in 1853, by a committee of textile workers to provide free education for the sons and daughters of 'necessitous' employees in the trade. Almost from the outset it was under the patronage of the royal family. In 1924 the school moved to its present site two miles south-east of Croydon where it stands in beautiful gardens in a delightful 100-acre rural, wooded estate. Its elegant and well-appointed buildings include a fine chapel and excellent modern facilities. The school is affiliated to the Church of England, and the approach to daily life is founded on Christian principles, but pupils of all persuasions are welcome. A good all-round education is provided to pupils of a wide range of ability and examination results are good. Music, drama and art are strong. There are very good facilities for sports and games, including a large sports hall, gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, library and sixth form study centre. A plentiful range of clubs and societies and the CCF has Army and RAF units. Full use is made of the estate and a good deal of enterprise is shown in cultural visits, expeditions abroad etc. The school is greatly involved in the Model United Nations programmes: there is an annual four-day conference at the school and delegations are successfully sent each year to the international conference in The Hague.
