Tupton Hall School is a secondary school in Chesterfield. It is one of the largest secondary schools in the North East Derbyshire district, with a large body of students and one of the largest sixth forms in the county.

History of Tupton Hall School

Grammar School

Tupton Hall was founded as a Tupton Hall Grammar School in 1936 as a secondary school in the Clay Cross area on a site purchased by the Derbyshire Education Committee in 1929. In 1936, the school moved to its present site, formerly occupied by the mansion Tupton Hall. The original building was designed by G.H. Widdows, the county architect,[1] and it was opened by Oliver Stanley, the Secretary of State for Education.

Comprehensive school

From 1967-9, many new buildings were constructed to prepare for the transformation to becoming a much larger comprehensive school (750 pupils at the grammar school became 1,800 at the new comprehensive). The new school opened in 1969. The remodelled school was well regarded as an architectural achievement using CLASP system which allowed standard components for school construction. Nicholas Pevsner described it as "one of the best uses of the CLASP system for school buildings in the country ... creating a village type atmosphere" Architects were George Grey & Partners in association with D.S.Davies (County Architect).[1]

The school was severely run down by the new millennium and the new school opened in Easter 2003.

New school

The [https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/298306 school] is a specialist sports college and is one of the most modern school buildings in the county, being the tester school for the new school design permeating throughout Derbyshire and the East Midlands with many modern features, built under a PFI scheme.[2]

For results at A Level and GCSE 95% of students attain grades above the national average, and the exam results for the school as a whole are also above the England average.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}

Recently,{{when|date=November 2017}} the school has been twinned with a school in Nigeria to further aid relations between Tupton and its twin village in Nigeria. It recently gained the full International Schools Award.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}
