History
The school was founded by the Corporation of London and was originally located in Brixton to educate orphans of the Freemen of the City. While it is still possible for such orphan children to be educated as “Foundationers” at the school with the costs of their education borne by the Corporation of London, such instances are now rare. The school moved to its current 57 acre (231,000 m²) site at Ashtead Park in 1926, expanding to include fee-paying pupils from local families. It has recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of its relocation and the 150th anniversary of its establishment with a Thanksgiving Service at St Paul's Cathedral attended by the Lord Mayor of London in 2004.

Houses CLFS has three Houses: Gresham, Hale and Whittington (colours green, red and blue respectively). These are named after the influential Londoners and school benefactors Sir Thomas Gresham, Warren Stormes Hale and Richard Whittington. Pupils are assigned to a House on their first day at school, which they stay in throughout their school career. Since it is predominantly a day school and there are limited numbers of boarders, Houses do not have the same connotations as in some schools, though are still important for Inter-House Competitions and weekly House Assemblies. If a sibling of a CLFS pupil was to join the school, they would be assigned to the same house. Sir Thomas Gresham (~1519 - 21 November 1579) was an English merchant and financier who worked for King Edward VI of England and for Edwards half-sister Queen Elizabeth I of England. ...

Drama and music With use of the newly built Ferndale Theatre and the older (but larger) Assembly Hall, the school organises a number of performances each year. Past major senior school productions include Oliver!, Cabaret (2001), Les Miserables (2003) and Into the Woods (2005). CLFS was one of the first schools in the country to obtain rights to Cameron Mackintosh's Les Miserables which ran for four nights. The whole cast, crew (and part of the orchestra) consisted of CLFS pupils. With Les Mis being a hard act to follow, the school chose the next musical: Into the Woods, (music by Stephen Sondheim). The musical for Christmas 2007 is currently being decided. Les Misérables is an 1862 novel by the famous French novelist Victor Hugo, set in the Parisian underworld. ...
