The school converted to academy status in September 2010 in partnership with Coloma Convent Girls' School.[1] Previously it was a community school under the control of Croydon London Borough Council, and it continues to coordinate with the council on admissions.
The academy offers GCSEs and OCR Nationals, and sixth-form students can choose a range of A Levels.
Roy Hodgson, ex-manager of the England national football team, was a teacher at Monks Hill Comprehensive in the 1970s.[2]

gollark: Ah, that seems to work, it was being weird since the message didn't contain anything but the image I think.

gollark: CPUs have onboard random number generators using thermal noise or something now.
gollark: Does anyone know how to give SQL queries array parameters in `tiny_sqlite`? SQLite has a CARRAY thing but it's not builtin and `tiny_sqlite` doesn't mention any support for it. Are there other libraries which can do this? I think I can use the JSON extension for this but ew.
