Croydon High School

Croydon High School is an independent day school for girls aged 3-18, located in Selsdon, South Croydon. Established in 1874, the school is one of the original schools founded by the Girls’ Day School Trust. Its first Headmistress, Miss Dorinda Neligan, served the school for 27 years and became a militant suffragette upon retiring. Croydon High retains the spirit of its first headmistress, with a deep-rooted sense of justice and equality of opportunity passed down through generations of Croydon High girls.

Croydon High is a dynamic and forward-thinking school, working to ensure our girls are real-world ready. Encouraging and empowering ‘every girl, every day’, girls are supported to break down any perceived barriers and to achieve their individual potential. Outstanding teaching, tailored pastoral care and a wide variety of co-curricular opportunities ensure that each individual girl is nurtured to aspire without limits and become the person she wants to be.
