Barlborough Hall School is an independent Jesuit
Preparatory School for boys and girls aged 3 - 11. It is situated
in an estate of some 320 acres in protected countryside on the
edge of the village of Barlborough, a few minutes drive from
the M1 motorway. London is two and a half hours away by car
and Gatwick, Heathrow, Manchester, East Midlands and Leeds/Bradford
airports are within easy reach via the motorway network.
The school began as the junior school to Mount St. Mary's College,
founded by the Society of Jesus in the 1840's, and was established
as a separate Preparatory School when it moved to Barlborough
Hall in 1939. Today close links are established between the
two schools, providing a shared vision of education for children
from the aged of 3 - 18.
The Hall, a Grade 1 listed building, was built in 1583 by Francis
Rodes: now adopted as a school it retains much of its original
character. The chapel and many of the teaching rooms are in
the Central Hall, while the Jacobean stable outbuildings and
domestic quarters house the Early Years department for children
aged 3 - 5, the theatre, recreation rooms and gym. All the buildings
are inter-connected and centrally heated throughout. An indoor
heated swimming pool and a modern science and technology block
add to the school's excellent facilities.
A comprehensive mini-bus service is available from several areas
allowing children in more distant areas to commute with comparative
ease.
