THE EVENTS GUIDE croydonheritagefestival.co.uk THE WHITGIFT FOUNDATION As a 400 year old Croydon charity steeped in history, we are delighted to present Croydon Heritage Festival for the third year running. The festival is a celebration of Croydon’s often forgotten but incredible heritage as we look to the future of important redevelopment for our town. We were founded in 1596 by Archbishop John Whitgift with the aim to provide education and care in Croydon. Today, we continue to expand these services in the community: > We grant bursaries totalling £5 million a year to students who attend our three schools, Whitgift, Trinity and Old Palace, representing one of the largest school fee support schemes in the UK. Currently 46% of our students receive financial support towards school fees. > We care for 100 older residents at Whitgift Care, offering a full package of care from respite, day care and sheltered accommodation, to full residential and nursing care across our three homes: the Whitgift Almshouses, Wilhelmina House and Whitgift House. > We provide free support and advice to the borough’s estimated 34,000 carers at the Carers Support Centre in George Street run by our Carers’ Information Service. To fund these charitable activities, we rely on income from our investment and property portfolio around Croydon including our freehold ownership of the Whitgift Centre. For some time we have been working in partnership with Westfield and latterly the Croydon Partnership to bring about a transformational change to Croydon’s town centre. This redevelopment is not only vital to the town but will also enable us to sustain our charitable activities in the local community for years to come.

Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. 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.

    For general release REPORT TO: Overview and Scrutiny Committee 11th February 2019 SUBJECT: Development of a Culture Plan and a Libraries Plan for Croydon LEAD OFFICERS: Shifa Mustafa, Executive Director – Place CABINET MEMBER: Councillor Oliver Lewis Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure & Sport PERSON LEADING AT Councillor Oliver Lewis SCRUTINY COMMITTEE MEETING: ORIGIN OF This item has been identified by the Scrutiny Sub ITEM: Committee as an area of scrutiny. To provide comment and inform the development of BRIEF FOR the Culture Plan and a Libraries Plan for Croydon THE Council. COMMITTEE: 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Both a Cultural Plan and a Libraries Plan are currently in development for Croydon and due to be agreed at the May Cabinet later this year. Both will respond to the current challenges and opportunities for these areas and build on the strengths and achievements. This report outlines current provision as a background report to the SWOT analysis presented at committee and sets out the draft priority themes of both plans. 2 A cultural plan for Croydon 2.1 The support of culture in Croydon within the context of the regeneration taking place has been a priority over the last 3-5 years. The focus during that time has been on activity; the major redevelopment of the Fairfield Halls and securing an operator for its future, on supporting the cultural sector in Croydon and creating opportunities for it to grow, on the consolidation and development of a calendar of cultural events and on building partnerships both in and outside of the borough. The development of a Cultural Plan for the Borough is now timely, to build on this growing groundswell of activity and create a framework for activity for the next 5-10 years.

    Success on the Court

    LIFELENT 2020 Success on the court An unforgettable Hairspray performance Annual Junior Literary Festival Educational partnership with the Mobius Foundation Whitgift Minster Choristers live on BBC One Midnight Mass 1st XV crowned National Hockey Champions Global Citizenship launch for Junior Years and more inside… Hairspray The West End arrives in South Croydon! In December 2019, the West End came to South Croydon with a wonderful performance of Hairspray staged in Big School. Backcombed beehives, styled kisscurls and glittering costume all made this three night sell-out performance a huge hit. With period glitz, nostalgic glamour and toe-tapping numbers, the cast, production team and band, transported the audience back to 1960s downtown Baltimore. The musical (a record-setter which won the 2003 Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Musical for Marc Shaiman) follows teenager Tracy Turnblad’s dream of hitting the big time dancing on The Corny Collins Show amidst a backdrop of racial segregation and elitism. When Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight, leading to social change as Tracy campaigns for the show’s integration. A big thank you to all those who pulled this production together, particularly Mr Michael and Mrs Carter who directed the performance, and congratulations to the whole cast, including students from Old Palace of John Whitgift and WAVPA, Whitgift’s Saturday Performing Arts School. 2 WHITGIFT LIFE performing arts Hairspray The West End arrives in South Croydon! ‘With period glitz, nostalgic glamour and toe-tapping numbers Hairspray was a huge hit’ WHITGIFT LIFE 3 ‘Celebrating the power news of poetry to bring National Poetry Day people together’ To celebrate National Poetry Day He performed one of his poems on Thursday 3 October, poetic ‘Getting Older’ from his new rapper and storytelling songwriter, book Reasons to Write Rhymes in Rob Bradley was invited to Whitgift an Upper School assembly.
