Centenary Celebration
Thank you to everyone who came to our Centenary Celebration - it was a fantastic event! To look at the rehearsal pictures, please visit our Photo Gallery. Below are some quotes about the remarkable event!
"My wife and I really enjoyed the School's Centenary Show at the Ashcroft - a very imaginative production superbly performed. It was a quite unique experience to see a whole school, every pupil from the tiniest in Nursery up to the oldest, all on stage, & acting, dancing & singing with such infectious enthusiasm. Teachers, helpers & parents had obviously put in an enormous amount of effort, which I'm sure they felt well justified by the show's evident success. Everyone, particularly the children, clearly enjoyed the evening. We left with the strong impression of a very happy school."
Cllr Graham Bass, Mayor of Croydon
"Just a quick note to say the concert last night was fabulous. I loved the history and the personal letters. I know you were involved in looking through St David's material and it really paid off. The grandparents enjoyed themselves and loved talking through the famous speeches, historical moments with the children. The staff and everyone did so well."
St David's Parent
"We just wanted to drop you a quick note to congratulate you on putting together an absolutely fantastic evening. We enjoyed it immensely and can only imagine the hard work and stress behind it all. You really should feel very proud of this brilliant achievement, - am sure every single parent there this evening did!"

Double Sporting Victories!
The netballers were trimphant at this year's combined U10 & U11 Royal Russell event in March 2012. St David's entered two teams and played in a round robin tournament. Both the A and B squads fought hard and they won! Games teacher, Mrs Palfreyman, said: "It is a great experience for all of the girls in a superb setting, and to work together as a team made up of girls from different year groups. I am very proud of them all and the manner in which they played."
The netball victories come hot on the heels of the St David's U11 boys squad winning the team competition at the ISA National Gymnastics Championships in Stoke in February 2012. It was the second year running that St David's has been crowned national team champions. Head of PE & Games, Rob Jones, said: "It was an outstanding performance once again. All the boys worked extremely hard in training under Head Coach, Ian Heasman, and their achievements are a fitting reward." Teams from all over the country took part.
