The John Whitgift Foundation
The John Whitgift Foundation is a registered charity offering one of the largest bursary schemes in the UK, and Trinity is one of three independent schools within this Foundation.
Alongside Whitgift and Old Palace, our commitment is to provide an all-round education to academically able children, regardless of their social background or financial means.
In 1596, Archbishop John Whitgift was granted permission from Queen Elizabeth I to establish a Foundation in Croydon, providing education for the young and care for the elderly. Its vision is still to support people of all ages and backgrounds, bringing them together to inspire a sense of community. The work of the Foundation covers three core areas:
Accesstoeducation
As one of the largest bursary providers in the country, the Foundation grants thousands of young people access to an outstanding education at one of the three Foundation Schools.
Careforolderpeople
Through care homes and services, the Foundation gives older people a sense of community, comfort and joy in later life.
SupportofCroydon’scarers
The Foundation offer free advice, information and a support network for Croydon’s carers.
