Founders’ Day Service About a year ago, I found myself calling Mrs Jewell (who retired in 2019) for an interview. I was part way through my Masters in Arts Education at Harvard University and one of my assignments was to interview a teacher that had been of great inspiration to me. I knew straight away who I would contact, and we had a wonderful conversation, exploring the importance of the arts and the impact that an arts education had had on both of our lives. Fast forward a few more months, I had graduated and now Carol Jewell was calling me. I was very surprised and hugely honoured to be invited back to Old Palace to give the Founder’s Day speech, to speak about my journey since leaving school in 2004. I am used to talking to kids - I’ve been a teacher matter how big the dream, to seek what my name, even though I left the school in the UK and abroad for ten years, but they enjoy, to embrace gratitude and to 15 years ago.

We were very fortunate with the weather, and 85 Alumnae joined us for a buffet lunch and a chance to explore the school. During the brief AGM, Katherine Homatas (Chair) made a moving speech and presented gifts, cakes and flowers to our departing Head, Carol Jewell and Newsletter Editor, Jo Tuck. We wished them both the best of luck in their retirements. Many of our members travelled great distances to be with us that day, and it is very much appreciated.

This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2. There are several tensions and contradictions within the proposals that clearly could not be ironed out at the time the bid was submitted to the Mayor of London.

  • Dear All, This Week We Welcomed the ISI Inspection Team to the School
    Issue 168 20 September 2019 A Level Art Trip to Cass and Farnham Sculpture Parks Dear all, This week we welcomed the ISI inspection team to the school. The sun shone at both Prep and Seniors and it was a fantastic opportunity to be able to share with them what an excellent school Old Palace is. They spent two days immersing themselves in the life of the school from Nursery through to the Sixth Form. We await the formal outcome of the inspection, which usually takes about 8 weeks, and we will be able to share this with parents once it is received. Thank you to all the parents, students and staff who took the time to complete the ISI survey in advance of the visit. As ever, our girls were excellent ambassadors for the school and the inspection team were fully of praise for the mature, confident and enthusiastic way they engaged with the visitors. Well done! We were very pleased to welcome Father Andrew, Chaplain to the Whitgift Foundation, to the House assemblies in Chapel this week. With Founders’ Day only a week away it was a great opportunity to for the girls to learn or be reminded of the purpose of the event and the history of how the school was founded. The House assemblies also saw the Year 6 and the new Year 7 students welcomed to each House (Anselm, Hatton, Laud and Stafford) by the House Prefects. They are now proud owners of shiny, new House badges which they are wearing with pride around the school! With another weekend of fine weather ahead I hope all Old Palace families enjoy a very pleasant and relaxing weekend.

  • 7 Altyre Rd, Croydon, Cr9 5Aa Croydon Park Hotel Croydon Park Hotel
    7 ALTYRE RD, CROYDON, CR9 5AA CROYDON PARK HOTEL CROYDON PARK HOTEL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Exceptional opportunity to purchase a prime freehold hotel in the centre of Croydon’s Commercial District. Substantial 137,000 sq. ft. full-service hotel with 211 guestrooms, car parking, food and beverage facilities, conferencing and event space and fitness and leisure facilities set on a1.54 acre site. The purpose-built Hotel opened in 1984 and was previously operated under an international hotel brand before operating independently until the hotel’s closure in 2020. Available with vacant possession, unencumbered by brand, franchise or management, providing optimal operational and development flexibility with substantial potential to increase value. Prime town centre location in the heart of Croydon in close proximity to East Croydon station, one of London’s busiest stations with 25 million passengers in 2019. Croydon has benefitted from significant recent investment and is set to benefit from further significant investment to regenerate the town centre. Croydon’s strategic position and excellent transport links make the town attractive to key corporate occupiers that have established Croydon as a premier business location in south London. Extensive asset management opportunities including: hotel repositioning; extension of the existing property; or redevelopment of the site to increase the massing and change of use (subject to obtaining the necessary planning and all other consents) to potentially superior alternative use values. The Hotel is situated in the Croydon Metropolitan Centre, the Croydon Opportunity Area and the ‘Edge Area’ for tall buildings, all of which are supportive in principle for additional massing on the site and for alternative uses, potentially unlocking more accretive development proposals.
