Barlborough Hall School became an independent Catholic day school, in the Jesuit tradition, around 1939. The school is now the Preparatory school for Mount St Mary's College at Spinkhill, 2.2 miles down the road. The present head teacher is Mrs Karen Keeton.
History
The school is based at Barlborough Hall, a Grade I listed[1] 16th-century country house 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.
