Welcome to the Whitgiftian Association/Whitgift Sports Club

The Whitgiftian Association is an organisation for former pupils of Whitgift School, Croydon, England. Whitgift School is an independent day school for boys founded by John Whitgift, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1596. It is owned by the Whitgift Foundation, an educational charity, in company with two other Croydon schools, Trinity School of John Whitgift (boys) and The Old Palace School of John Whitgift (girls).
