The school is located in a grade II* listed building in about {{convert|80|acre|m2}} of parkland in the Suffolk village of Brettenham. Its pupils take the Common Entrance exam, going on to a range of public schools such as Uppingham, Oundle, Rugby, Framlingham College and The Leys. HistoryThe school was founded as a boys' school in 1862 by Misses Ellen and Margaret Ringer in the Suffolk coastal town of Lowestoft under the name 'South Lodge Preparatory School'. The school remained there for 75 years before moving to much larger premises at Old Buckenham Hall in the village of Old Buckenham, Norfolk, previously the residence of financier Lionel Robinson. Here the school really started to grow. In December 1952, disaster struck and the Hall was burnt down by fire[8]. In January of the following year the school found new premises at Merton Hall near Thetford, Norfolk. Here the school tried to pick up the pieces and get back on track but disaster struck again with a second fire in January 1956[9]. The school's survival was seriously put in question and several possibilities were discussed as to what to do next. The school became aware that Brettenham Park in Suffolk had come onto the market and the property was acquired. The school (now known as Old Buckenham Hall School) moved in September 1956 and soon became well established. The school has been on this site since, first taking on girls in the 1990s. The current Headmaster is David Griffiths, who has recently joined OBH from Daneshill School where he was Headmaster.[10] Sports and activitiesThe school makes use of its sports pitches and facilities including 3 rugby pitches, 2 football pitches,5 football and 6 hockey pitches, 5 cricket squares, 6 tennis courts, all-weather netball courts, a {{convert|2000|yd|m|adj=on}} nine-hole golf course and an outdoor heated swimming pool. Pupils spend 5 (of 6) afternoons a week playing games. Pupils at OBH play a wide variety of sports including rugby, hockey, cricket, tennis, football, athletics, gymnastics, Cross country running, golf, swimming and netball. Being a predominantly day and transitional boarding school, the school offers a wide range of activities for the pupils including: archery, sailing and clay-pigeon shooting. The school is also home to the Brettemnham Village Cricket Club[11]. Notable former pupils{{unreferenced section|date=June 2017}}{{see also|Category:People educated at Old Buckenham Hall}}
Head Masters"Five heads in 130 years" is the subtitle of J. D. Sewell's history of the school.[14]
Brettenham ParkThe school has occupied Brettenham Park since 1956. It was purchased from the Warner family, whose lineage includes Courtenay Warner, and from whom the school derives its coat of arms and motto. The Grade II* listed house is of C16 origin, enlarged in the C19 as the residence of Joseph Bonaparte.[16] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.education.gov.uk/edubase/establishment/summary.xhtml?urn=124873|title=URN 124873 Old Buckenham Hall School|publisher=Edubase|accessdate=3 June 2017}} 2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.finboroughschool.co.uk/2016/05/tennis-players-travelled-obh/|title=Tennis players travelled to OBH {{!}} Finborough School|date=2016-05-25|work=Finborough School|access-date=2018-04-09|language=en-GB}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/obh-school-in-suffolk-ranked-in-top-five-at-tatler-schools-awards-2017-1-5196697|title=OBH School in Suffolk ranked in top five at Tatler Schools Awards 2017|last=Stott|first=Matt|work=East Anglian Daily Times|access-date=2018-04-09|language=en}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.framcollege.co.uk/women-in-science-and-engineering-day-at-obh/|title=‘Women in Science and Engineering Day’ at OBH – Framlingham College|website=www.framcollege.co.uk|language=en-GB|access-date=2018-04-09}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://news.iaps.uk/story/old-buckenham-hall-hosts-rugby-7s-and-girls-hockey-tournament|title=Old Buckenham Hall hosts Rugby 7s and Girls Hockey Tournament|work=IAPS|access-date=2018-04-09|language=en}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=School Guide 2013 - Old Buckenham Hall|url=http://www.tatler.com/guides/schools-guide/2013/prep/old-buckenham-hall|publisher=Tatler}} 7. ^Old Buckenham Hall School, Suffolk, Independent Schools 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://oldbuckenham.blogspot.com/2011/03/local-heritage.html|title=Fire destroys Norfolk School|last=|first=|date=5 December 1952|work=?East Anglian Daily Times|access-date=18 March 2019}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~ives55/genealogy/merton/merton.htm|title=Merton Hall|last=|first=|date=16 January 1956|work=Eastern Daily Press|access-date=18 March 2019}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/15164949.new-headteacher-at-prep-school/|title=New headteacher at prep school|website=Basingstoke Gazette|language=en|access-date=2019-03-18}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://brettenham.onesuffolk.net/assets/Useful-Information/LIBupdateMar12.pdf|title=Living in Brettenham|last=|first=|date=March 2012|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=18 March 2019}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.obh.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/HM-Announcement-May-2014.pdf|title=HM Announcement|last=Brett|first=John|date=9 May 2014|website=OBH|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.obh.co.uk/2014/07/02/new-headmaster-for-january-2015/|title=New Headmaster from 2015|last=Bullen|first=Nick|date=2 July 2014|website=OBH|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 14. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.obh.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/obh-mail-23-Feb-18.pdf|title=And finally|last=O'Sullivan|first=Tom|date=23 February 2018|website=OBH|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 15. ^1 {{Cite book|title=A History of Old Buckenham Hall School|last=Sewell|first=Donald|publisher=Old Buckenham Hall School|year=1992|isbn=|location=Brettenham|pages=}} 16. ^{{Cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1037349|title=OLD BUCKENHAM HALL SCHOOL, Brettenham - 1037349 {{!}} Historic England|last=England|first=Historic|website=historicengland.org.uk|access-date=2019-03-18}} External links
