1. High School

Eckington School is a very large comprehensive school in Eckington, Derbyshire in England, next to the B6056 road. It has around 1600 pupils.HistoryPrevious to the opening of the school, there was the Eckington County Secondary School, which opened in Halfway (in Derbyshire before 1967) in 1930, and became the Eckington Grammar School in 1945. In Eckington was also the Eckington Secondary Modern School on School Street; when the grammar school became Derbyshire's first comprehensive school - the Westfield School - in 1957, this became Eckington Junior School.AdmissionsThe school catchment area includes surrounding areas such as Killamarsh, Renishaw, Beighton, Ridgeway and sometimes Mosborough. Despite the school being closer to several Sheffield residential areas (including Beighton and Mosborough) than other Derbyshire ones, the admissions policy is set in such a way to favour pupils coming from the Derbyshire feeder schools in areas such as Killamarsh, Ridgeway and Renishaw. This is because most students from the Mosbrough and Beighton area attend Westfield School.
