A public consultation on proposals to close Selsdon High School and replace it with a new academy on the same site will be held.
The preferred academy sponsor is The Coloma Trust.
The consultation is due to open on October 12 and closes on November 27.
During this period the council and Coloma will answer questions from parents, students and other interested parties at a public meeting on November 12 at Selsdon High School, beginning at 6.30pm.
The council will also be distributing leaflets with information and forms for the community to share their thoughts on the plans.
If the final decision is taken to close Selsdon High School, it would be replaced by the Quest Academy - Coloma Trust in September 2010.
A spokesman said: “The council believes that establishing a new academy will help raise educational achievement, improve parental confidence, and increase opportunities for students.”
The Quest Academy would be co-educational and accept students of all faiths and none.
The plans form part of Croydon Council’s Transforming Croydon Schools programme.
