Trinity Boys Choir
The Trinity School of John Whitgift, also known as Trinity School, is an independent day school with a co-educational Sixth Form, located in Shirley Park, Croydon. In April 2025, Trinity announced it would become fully co-educational, welcoming girls into Year 6 and Year 7 (10+, 11+) in September 2027.
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, to avoid confusion with Whitgift School. 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 modernist contrast to the old building.
The school was built in 1965 on the site of the former Shirley Park Hotel.
