Croydon High School, GDST is a leading independent day school for 715 girls aged 3 to 18, offering an exceptional learning environment and strong sense of community for every girl, every day. Achievement and aspiration are celebrated in equal measure across the Junior and Senior Schools, which share purpose built, well-resourced and recently refurbished facilities on an impressive and spacious 22 acre site. 

Croydon High School is a confident and forward-looking school and has enjoyed exceptional growth in recent years. The School is renowned for its innovative and creative curriculum and emphasis on academic progress, blended with breadth of experience and excellent pastoral care which equips pupils to go on and fulfil what they have set their hearts on. Croydon High School has recently pioneered a bespoke Enterprise Technology programme, embedding computing skills and programming across the entire curriculum and encouraging the students to be entrepreneurial and creative team-players and leaders. 

Croydon High School is part of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), a family of schools where girls learn without limits. Whilst academic excellence is a given, GDST schools also focus on giving girls the confidence and skills to thrive in the modern world. 

As a centre of excellence, the GDST provides unrivalled opportunities and resources for students, staff and alumnae, as well as support and training for Headteachers. As part of a family of schools, GDST Heads belong to a dynamic group of leaders, allowing them to exchange ideas and best practice. Founded in 1872, the GDST now educates 19,000 students and employs 3,500 staff.

The GDST Council invites applications for the role of Head following the appointment of Emma Pattison to the headship of Epsom College, from September 2022. 

The successful candidate will be innovative and ambitious, with a genuine commitment to the aims and the values of Croydon High School and the wider Trust.
