The Whitgift Foundation is a local charity based in Croydon Surrey.

Our Founder John Whitgift established the charity in 1596 in order to provide:
  • Education for the young
  • Care for the elderly

The Whitgift Foundation comprises 3 Independent Day Schools:
  • Old Palace of John Whitgift School

We provide bursaries and scholarships to academically able children whose parents are unable to afford the full fees.
