I have a boy in Whitgift and think it is an amazing school. It has exceeded all our expectations. We are very happy with the learning, the organisation, the teachers' dedication, the pastoral care and the community. They offer the boys so many sports and extra curricular activities. They organise so many interesting educational activities that I end up copying them for the rest of the family. My son and his friends are so happy. We were worried about Croydon but no problems so far (fingers crossed). I guess we hear about kids getting mugged for their iphones all over London. In my view, this is one of the best schools in terms of opportunities for all the kids (whether academic, sporty, talented in music or drama or a kid that wants a rounded education). I can only speak about 2025 and my own experience.
