On this day…..May 5th 1966. The official opening of Trinity School at Shirley Park, Croydon, by Earl Alexander of Tunis.
We have celebrated this 60th anniversary with a raft of whole school fundraising and enterprising events and celebrations in aid of the Trinity 60 Campaign.
Who remembers this photo of Trinity Boys Choir members and Edmund Rubbra talking to David Squibb? Who are the 3 lads in the back row (left)?

This year, we particularly remember three of our alums who Fell in 1915 at the battles of Festubert, Gallipoli and Loos. They were aged just 18 and 19. We also honour and remember all alumni and the masters who have died in wars past. We will remember them.
Bang!
Who remembers recording this pioneering children’s opera by Sir John Rutter? Recognise any of these faces on the CD cover? Its is 25 years since this recording was made…time flies!

Being able to connect our first headmaster right to our ninth and current headmaster, through the Ingrams family story, was a privilege.

It was a privilege to welcome the family of Trinity’s first-ever Headmaster – William Ingrams (1882-1905) – to the school last week.

47 years ago, @TrinityBoysChoi sang with Bing Cosby in his last ever tv performance. Merrie Old Christmas was recorded in Sept ‘77 and broadcast on Dec 24. Sadly, Bing died in the October.
..where are all these singers now?

Great to be at Charterhouse School for a gathering of fellow Archivists. Fabulous buildings, history and good to share our common ideas about archive collections. @TrinitySchAlumn @TrinityCroydon #archives
The final act of Remembrance 2024. All the metal poppies representing our Fallen former students & masters, have now been removed from our War Memorial Garden, laid out side by side & packed away for another year.
We will always remember them.

Then and now. The Headmaster’s corridor in the 1960s and also 2024…….not much has changed - the rubber flooring is still looking in great condition.
Do you remember the name of Oliver Berthoud’s dog?

Remembrance Day 2024. A special and poignant day when we stop to remember and thank all who have fought on our behalf for our freedoms.
We will remember them.

To all our Fallen, we remember you and thank you for fighting for our freedoms.

During this year’s Remembrance, we recall the heroic story of Captain Ernest Bonny who, in WW2 and without any training, diffused multiple mines and booby trap bombs to safeguard his platoon’s progress in Burma. He was awarded the Military Cross. @TrinitySchAlumn @TrinityCroydon
Success does not come without hard work, planning and a great team united in harmony.
To the Speakers, the Ambassadors, the Alumni and Development Team and to all our Trinity Bursary Fund Supporters - together we are unstoppable.
We will remember them…
As we prepare for this year’s Remembrance, our War Memorial Garden has had its annual makeover and transformation. Thanks to our Gardeners & Estates Team plus the Development and Alumni Relations Team, the Metal Poppies & lovely Cyclamen are now planted.
109 years ago this month, the Cadet Corps was formed at Whitgift Middle School. Their first duty, unfortunately, was to parade for the funeral of the three Currie brothers, who were killed by a Zeppelin bomb on their home. @TrinitySchAlumn @TrinityCroydon @JohnWhitgiftFdn
