History
Grammar school
It was known as the coeducational Swanwick Hall Grammar School from 1922.
Comprehensive
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.
