The Borough (renamed Selhurst in 1921) Grammar School for Boys was
opened in September 1904 at the Scarbrook Road premises occupied
in the evenings by Croydon Polytechnic.
In September 1913 the school
moved into its new premises but returned to Scarbrook Road from
1915 to 1918 or 1919, during which time the school building was
used as a hospital.
In 1971 the school became a Comprehensive for pupils aged 14 onwards.
It closed, because of falling rolls and reorganisation, in 1988.
The Boys' School had SEVEN Headmasters during its time...
