Swanwick Hall School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Swanwick, Alfreton, Derbyshire, England. In 2004 Ofsted noted that the school had strong university links and had Training School status. [1] It was formerly a country house belonging to the local Wood family.
The main building was constructed in 1771-72 by Joseph Pickford for Hugh Wood, a gentryman in Swanwick. It was expanded in 1812, by a west wing of inferior brick, with a new drawing room and tea room. This was around the same time the estate was expanded to over thirty acres due to the Enclosure Act of 1812.
It was expanded again and heavily modified in 1889, when it was expanded by an east wing, conservatory, flag room and a refronted south façade on the west wing. The Wood family started letting out the house in the late 1890’s, and started selling off parts of the Wood family estate in Derbyshire, and mainly left Swanwick by 1912. When J.W.H Wood died in late 1919, his wife, Christina Mary Wood, sold off Swanwick Hall in 1920, over to Derbyshire County Council for £10,376.
It was known as the coeducational Swanwick Hall Grammar School from 1922, It had extensions designed by County Council architect, G. Widdows, and was opened by the Duke Of Devonshire.
The school became comprehensive in 1973. Previously a community school administered by Derbyshire County Council, Swanwick Hall School was converted to academy status in April 2016. The school is now part of the Two Counties Trust which includes Ashfield School and Selston High School. [2] However, Swanwick Hall School continues to coordinate with Derbyshire County Council for admissions.[ citation needed ]
