History

Orchard Park High School was formerly a foundation school known as Edenham High School.[4] It was Croydon's last remaining local authority secondary school, until it became an academy as part of the Greenshaw Learning Trust in September 2015.[5][6][7] It changed its name to Orchard Park High School with a new badge and uniform in September 2017. The changes represent its location in the Monks Orchard community and the heritage of the school site, with elements of the previous landowners family crests used.[8][9][10]
