History

The school is based at Barlborough Hall, a Grade I listed[1] 16th-century country house, located in Barlborough, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England. Originally built by Sir Francis Rodes (see Rodes Baronets) circa 1583–84,[2] as the family seat, the hall’s Elizabethan design is attributed to Robert Smythson, one of a noted family of architects.
