Absorption Into Old Palace School
In September 2007 it was announced that the Whitgift Foundation would be taking over the school from September 2008, and that it was to merge with Old Palace School. From that date, the senior girls and their staff moved to Old Palace School. The senior school at Croham Hurst became the junior school of Old Palace; and The Limes became a nursery. The Main Building of the school has since been refurbished.

Famous quotes containing the words absorption, palace and/or school:
“These philosophers dwell on the inevitability and unchangeableness of laws, on the power of temperament and constitution, the three goon, or qualities, and the circumstances, or birth and affinity. The end is an immense consolation; eternal absorption in Brahma.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In correct theology, the Virgin ought not to be represented in bed, for she could not suffer like ordinary women, but her palace at Chartres is not much troubled by theology, and to her, as empress-mother, the pain of child-birth was a pleasure which she wanted her people to share.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
