Facilities

Learning Areas

Our purpose-built campus in Selsdon, South Croydon, accommodates both the Junior and Senior Schools, sports’ centre, outdoor netball/tennis courts and astro turf and beautiful tree-lined field which converts to an athletics track in summer. Bright, large classrooms are served by wide corridors and offer a superb learning environment. In the Junior School, all classrooms have been recently refurbished into learning zones with breakout areas which enables our modern and personalised approach to teaching.

Sport

Having a large sports centre on site is a huge asset for the school. The swimming pool, dance studio, gymnasium, fitness suite and sports hall, together with our all-weather artificial pitch – overlooked by our stunning sports pavilion – provide girls with opportunities to train and compete in excellent facilities.

The capacity of our netball and tennis courts allows us to host large fixtures and cater for Juniors and Seniors throughout the year.  For more on our exceptional Sports department and Facilities, have a watch of this video:

Music and Drama

The music and drama studios in the Junior School are used by all girls. The corridors of practice rooms over two floors in the Seniors School, combined with the recital room and dedicated music teaching rooms, provide excellent venues for rehearsals before performances in our school Hall. Having recently been awarded ArtsMark GOLD for Excellence in our Performing Arts provision, take a look at what we offer in this video:

The Music Technology studio, Podcast Room and fully equipped Drama Studio open out onto our ‘drama courtyard,’ used for school performances in good weather and sometimes by external groups who hire this pleasant space for special productions.
