About Us
We are a local history site for St Andrew’s school. The school closed in the summer of 2020, but is not forgotten by the many past pupils who went there. This site has been created to collate and preserve the history of our school and to ensure its impact on the lives of so many past students will not be forgotten.
St Andrew’s School was a Croydon Church School for 150 years
We started off as a small ragged school in rented rooms behind a pub and grew into a voluntary aided high school.
Our Moto
Per Crucem ad Coronam was the school motto: through the cross, to the crown. Based on the scottish saltire, the St Andrew’s cross overlayed with a crown was the school badge.
Core Values
- A faith based school
- Educating people to achieve
Where we were
Originally built as a ragged school for the poor people fo Croydon’s old town, in the Parish of Croydon. St Andrew’s occupied three different old town sites in its history
- The rented school rooms
- A permanent site
- The new school on Duppas Hill
