Whitgift is a leading independent day and boarding school for boys, with approximately 1500 pupils including over one hundred boarding pupils and flexi boarding pupils. It is set in an attractive 48-acre parkland site in South Croydon enjoying excellent links to London, Surrey and the south coast.

With a reputation for holistic endeavour, Whitgift enjoys an unparalleled reputation for delivering a genuine combination of academic excellence and all-round achievement. The co-curricular programme u2013 which provides every one of its students with an exceptional range of clubs and societies across academic departments and beyond u2013 was recognized by ISI in our recent inspection at the end of the Lent Term 2025 as a significant strength. We believe in breadth and depth of opportunity, high aspiration, and a can-do and engaged attitude: key ingredients for preparing the young people in our care brilliantly for the rest of their lives.

Whitgift School (part of the John Whitgift Foundation) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Where applicable, applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service and online media checks (including personal, professional and other online activities). It is an offence to apply for a role at the school if you know that you are barred from regulated activity with children.
