Country Club

Alderwasley Hall Sixth Form was previously a county club called Callow Park with several Squash courts, a small swimming pool, 2 outdoor tennis courts and rooms for visitors to stay the night

Use as a School

In 1993 the site closed and became part of Alderwasley Hall School and was converted into a school. Alderwasley Hall Sixth Form Centre is for students aged sixteen to nineteen and for younger students when studying for Art and PE. Many of these students also attend nearby colleges such as Ilkeston and Buxton on a part-time basis. Some of the students live at the site while many day students attend from nearby areas. Despite being an independent school the majority of funding comes from local authorities (LA).

It is owned by the SENAD Group based in Derby who run other schools for children and young people with learning difficulties.[1]

The site changed its name on September 1, 2012, to Alderwasley Hall Sixth Form Centre.[2]
