Old Palace of John Whitgift School for Girls

A message from Mrs Burton: Thank you from the school for all the kind messages of condolence and support that have been sent to the Old Palace community and Elianne’s family.

Following the announcement that Old Palace of John Whitgift will be closing in August 2025, the school will no longer be admitting new pupils. Our Open Days have therefore been cancelled. For further information go to: oldpalace.croydon.sch.uk/about/closure-…
