Selhurst High School for Boys was a name that has been given to two separate schools in England that existed at different times, but occupied the same site. The former school had been a grammar school that closed in 1988, the latter was the relaunch of a former comprehensive school, Ingram, under a different name in a different location. Thus, the later Selhurst High School for Boys was not simply an extension of the old school but rather has a more complex heritage. The school, located in the north of Croydon, was later referred to as Selhurst Mathematics and Computing Specialist School. The school was notable not only in the eminent alumni that feature among its forerunners' former pupils, but also because of the dramatic contrasts in its academic fortunes over time.
