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]
