CROYDON HIGH WELCOMES OLD GIRL SUSIE MA FOR 6TH FORM OPEN EVENING

It was less ‘You’re fired!” and more “You’re Inspired!”at Croydon High School this week, when old girl Susie Ma returned to talk to the girls about the opportunities for them in the school’s sixth form.

Susie, who made her name as a finalist in the BBC programme “The Apprentice” spoke warmly of her memories of the school she left in 2007, advising the girls to make the most of everything on offer to them. She stressed how the quality of teaching she received helped her achieve her dream of a place at University College London, where she read Economics, but also how getting involved in extra-curricular activities, such Young Enterprise, developed her as a person and particularly encouraged that entrepreneurial flair and a passion for business.

Equally important to Susie was the close friendships she made at the school with girls who have gone on to do great things in the fields of law, medicine and academia. (The audience appreciated Susie’s sense of humour when she made the point that you never know when you might need a good lawyer!)

Susie then chatted with parents, staff and girls in the sixth form common room where they mingled to discuss the options available in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. The school’s Entrance examination for Years 12 and 7 takes place on 26th November – for more details contact admissions@cry.gdst.net

CROYDON HIGH JUNIORS IN THE TOP TWENTY

Croydon High Junior School ranked 19th in the Sunday Times ‘Top 100 Prep Schools’ Whilst we are all aware that the overall judgement of a school should not be based on league tables alone, we are thrilled to have received this well deserved recognition. From 23rd place last year to 19th this year, our ongoing commitment to high achievement has been rewarded. Our girls learn within an environment that places a high priority on pastoral care and the delivery of an exciting curriculum which encourages creative and enthusiastic learners. We are extremely proud of our girls and our dedicated teaching staff.
