Old Hall Comprehensive School

Old Hall Comprehensive School was located in Kimberworth, Rotherham, United Kingdom. Originally built in the 1960s, it grew quickly and at the time of its closure it had around 130 staff members and around 1500 students from Years 7-11.

At its best its examination results in GCSEs and GNVQs were excellent, raising the bar for other local schools to achieve similarly. Led through possibly its most successful era by headteacher William Bainbridge, it still maintains an admirable level of ex-students going on to study at respected UK universities.

The school ceased to exist under its old name as of September 2003 when it merged with Kimberworth School to form Winterhill School. The merge saw several incidents of gang violence as a result of the rivalry that had existed when the two schools were separate. A heavy police presence was maintained for a number of months.

The school had no 6th-form college attached to it but many of its students proceeded to study A-Levels and other further qualifications at Rotherham colleges.
