Whitgift School is an independent day school with limited boarding (120 boys[2]) in South Croydon, London. Along with Trinity School of John Whitgift and Old Palace School it is owned by the Whitgift Foundation, a charitable trust. The school's headmaster is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.

History

Whitgift School was founded in 1596 by the Archbishop of Canterbury John Whitgift and opened in 1600.[3] It was founded as part of the Whitgift Foundation which had the aim of building a hospital and school in Croydon for the "poor, needy and impotent people" from the parishes of Croydon and Lambeth.[4] It is Croydon's oldest school.

The school was originally located in North End, Croydon. In 1931 the school moved to its current site, Haling Park, which was once home to Lord Howard of Effingham, the Lord High Admiral of the Fleet sent against the Spanish Armada.[5] Between 1871 and 1946 the school was known as Whitgift Grammar School, after which it relinquished its direct grant and became a fully independent school known as 'Whitgift School'.[6]

The present Headmaster, Dr Christopher Barnett, is the twenty-sixth in the School's history. There are approximately 650 boys in the Lower School and 650 boys in the Upper School. Haling Park retains the appearance of an attractive country estate with a large copse, many fine specimen trees, Prevost's Squirrels, maras, peafowl (peacocks), crowned and demoiselle cranes, flamingos and other exotic birds. The Founder's Garden, Water Gardens and Andrew Quadrangle provide reflective spaces as well as venues for plays, concerts and celebrations. The Whitgift Rose, created to mark the 400th Anniversary of the School, is widely planted throughout the grounds.

The original buildings have been supplemented by many additions and improvements including a Music School and Concert Hall, an integrated facility for science, technology, art and design together with library and resource centres, a separate Lower School building, and a major new Sports and Conference Centre which was opened in February 2005. A new Art Department, Performing Arts Centre and a new Sixth Form Centre were completed during the summer of 2011.

Originally a day school, boarding was introduced in 1992,[7] but a new boarding house was opened for the 2013–14 school year.[8]

Grounds

Whitgift is located in a 45-acre (18 ha) parkland site. The ship (a model of HMS Ark Royal) that features prominently on the top of "Big School" (the school hall) is a reminder of the history of the site. Additions since the 400th anniversary of the school have been a maze in the founder's garden, an aviary, an enclosure for Prevost's squirrels, ponds and a multimillion-pound sports complex.

Whitgift is renowned locally for its wide variety of animals, most notably the peacocks which have graced the grounds since the 1930s, and the flamingos.[9] In 2005 Sir David Attenborough visited the school to open the ponds, the enclosure of which also houses two albino wallabies (a gift from the Queen, given in 2002 after the school's ponds re-opened[10]), and various waterfowl,[11] including Hawaiian geese, which the school successfully bred.[10] Unfortunately both wallabies drowned.The headmaster subsequently purchased four more wallabies to replace the dead two.[12]

Admissions

Most boys are admitted to the School at the ages of 10 or 11. A smaller number of boys enter the School at 12, 13, 14 and 16. Entry is based on academic performance in entrance exams and interviews, and an assessment of a boy's ability to contribute to wider school life and benefit from the co-curricular activities offered.[13] Scholarships are awarded offering a remission of up to 50% of the school fees. Aside from academic scholarships, they may be awarded for particular talent in Music, Art, Design Technology, Sport or as an All-Rounder. A substantial number of bursaries are also awarded up to the value of the full fees.[14]

Uniform

When in the Lower School (Lower 1st (Year 6) to Upper 3rd (Year 9)), boys wear the standard school dark blue blazer with the Whitgift crest emblazoned on the chest pocket; blue shirt with the school crest emblazoned on the breast pocket; charcoal grey trousers; dark blue v-neck jumper with the school crest emblazoned on the chest (optional); black/grey socks and, if in the 1st Form (Years 6 & 7), the 1st Form tie (navy blue body with two yellow stripes running diagonally across the centre, encasing the school crest); or if in the 3rd Form (Years 8 & 9) and or 5th form (Years 10 & 11), the standard school tie with house colours. Students in years 10 and 11 wear a white shirt and those in the Sixth Form wear black, blue or dark grey suits with the Sixth Form tie. Sixth Form prefects wear the prefect tie (navy blue body with alternate diagonal rows of the Whitgift crest and thick royal purple stripes running down the tie). Any student in 5th form (Years 10 & 11) who has been appointed as House Captain (Year 13 only) or House Prefect by the House Master is permitted to wear the Senior house tie (navy blue body with alternate diagonal rows of the Whitgift crest and thick coloured stripes (the colour of the stripes is dependent on the house the student is in) running down the tie). Any student who has been awarded full or half colours is permitted to wear the school colours tie (navy blue body with alternate diagonal rows of the Whitgift crest and thick gold stripes running down the tie). Any student who is in the school Corp of Drums is permitted to wear the Corp of Drums tie (navy blue body with the Corp of Drums crest running diagonally in rows down the tie). Any student who forgets or loses their tie has to the visit the school proctor, who gives them to wear a 1st form tie, until a suitable replacement is either acquired or found.

Education

In year 7, boys must choose three languages to study; one Romance (French/Spanish), one inflected (German/Latin) and one Oriental (Japanese/Mandarin). In year 9, boys can drop a language, but can also take up either Italian or Ancient Greek[15] which is studied off-timetable.

In the Fifth Form, boys undertake a broad curriculum in a mixture of GCSE and IGCSE subjects. Boys are typically examined in at least 11 subjects. A majority of boys take IGCSEs in separate sciences (Biology, Chemistry & Physics), resulting in three qualifications, but the number of boys studying only Dual Award science is increasing in an effort to bolster results after a particularly mediocre year. A pupil must attain at least an A grade at GSCE level, in order to continue that subject in Sixth Form.[16] For to get into Sixth Form, boys have to pass a 'hurdle', designed to allow only the top students to continue. To pass this hurdle, boys are required to achieve at least ten B grades at GCSE and one A.

Since 2005, Whitgift has offered the International Baccalaureate[17] Diploma Programme to the Sixth Form as an optional alternative to A-Levels, as well as BTEC qualifications in sport and business studies.

Like many traditional public schools, Whitgift has its own way of naming the school year groups, though in their case the current structure only dates from 2002:

  • Lower and Upper 1st (Years 6 & 7)
  • Lower and Upper 3rd (Years 8 & 9)
  • Lower and Upper 5th (Years 10 & 11)
  • Lower and Upper 6th (Years 12 & 13)

There are three academic terms in the year,[18]

  • The Michaelmas Term, from early September to late December.
  • The Lent Term, from early January to late March.
  • The Trinity Term, from late April to early July.

While Whitgift School has one of the finest academic results in the country,[19] it also affords substantial importance to co-curricular activities within the school life. This is reflected in the sporting facilities as well as an array of musical activities.

The school is, however, moving away from the co-curricular slightly, putting more of a focus and a priority on academic achievement after a less than stellar performance in the summer of 2013. This focus has showed fruition as in 2014 the school achieved its highest ever A*/A percentage rate in GCSE examinations (82.3%). The A*/C percentage rate came to 99.5%.[20]

This record was beaten again in the summer of 2015, with an A*/A rate of 86.6% and a A*/C rate of 99.8% [21]

The houses at Whitgift play an important role in the co-curricular activities of the students. The eight houses and their colours are Andrew's (purple), Brodie's (pink), Cross's (red), Dodd's (silver), Ellis's (light blue), Mason's (royal blue), Smith's (gold) and Tate's (green). The Houses are named after former headmasters, headboys and founding Housemasters. Each House has a Housemaster or Housemistress, house captain and vice-captain and House Prefects. Some of the Houses have form representatives. All the House representatives have a special House-tie with the house colour on it.

Co-curricular activities

Whitgift School offers co-curricular activities within the school. This is reflected in the sporting facilities as well as an array of musical activities.

Combined Cadet Force

Whitgift has a well-established combined cadet force.Training within the three sections (Army, RAF and RN) focuses on the development of personal responsibility, leadership, teamwork and self-reliance. The cadets are regularly placed in challenging situations designed to boost self-esteem and confidence.

Pupils have the opportunity of joining the CCF in the Spring Term of the Third Form. Cadets then follow a common recruits' syllabus for two terms before choosing which of the three sections they wish to join. At the end of the Summer Term all cadets have the option to attend a UK Central Camp.

Cadets can choose to stay with the CCF and work to achieve many of the additional benefits it offers. The minimum length of service is four terms. shooting, kayaking, sailing, diving and hill walking.[22] In addition to traditional military qualifications, cadets can gain Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Awards through their participation.

The rewards of membership of the CCF can range from a simple memory of a training exercise to a life-shaping experience. The opportunities are available for everyone wishing to take up the challenge.

The school has partnerships with two local state schools St. Andrews C of E High School and Thomas More School, allowing their students to take part in CCF activities.[22] Each year an annual inspection takes place conducted by a senior figure of the armed forces, often a former student of the school. Although not designed to recruit for the armed forces, some students go on to win service scholarships.

Sport

The school has a sporting tradition, and fields teams in a range of sports. Whitgift boasts a state of the art £9 million sports and conference centre.

Southern Railway Schools Class

The school lent its name to a locomotive in the Southern Railway V Class. This class was known as the Schools Class because all 40 locomotives were named after prominent English public schools. "Whitgift", SR no. 916 and BR no. 30916, was built in 1934 and withdrawn in 1962. The Whitgift nameplate that was formerly at the front of the locomotive is now on display in the Raeburn Library in the school. Hornby Models created an OO gauge replica of the 916 Whitgift Schools Class locomotive. Whitgift has one on display in the Raeburn Library underneath the Whitgift nameplate from the 4–4–0 train.
