The school has forged a number of mutually beneficial partnerships over the years. Among the organisations we are affiliated with are Goldsmiths, the University of Sussex, St Mary's University and UCL Institute of Education, where many of our student teachers are trained. The college has been awarded Specialist Partner (Initial Teacher Training) status by UCL Institute of Education.

We share expertise and resources with Haberdashers' Askes's Hatcham College and Langley Park High School for Boys as well as with Kensington Avenue Primary School, a fellow academy overseen by The Manor Trust. We also maintain close contact with a further six primaries - Norbury Manor Primary School, Downsview Primary School, Kingsley Primary School, Winterbourne Girls Junior School, Elmwood Junior School and Purley Oaks Primary School. 

Our partnership with Independent Catering, provider of the college's dining services, resulted in the college being the first secondary school in Croydon to be awarded the Healthy Schools London Silver Award. 

"Staff enjoy working with the pupils. One member of staff typically commented, ‘I couldn’t be happier here.’ Relationships between adults and pupils are very positive and enable the young people to prosper. The school promotes good values well. Pupils like the school, show pride in it, and behave thoughtfully to others." - Ofsted, 2017
