The School

Hill House is the leading co-educational independent school in South Yorkshire. It is an exciting and expanding school of some 700 children from age 3 to 18, where teachers can teach and children can learn. The school was founded in 1912 and occupies a splendid site outside the South Yorkshire town of Doncaster.

In an £8 million move, the school relocated from an urban site in September 2008, and now occupies stunning facilities, harmonising the history of an outstanding campus with new, purposely designed 21st century facilities. Since then, a multi-million pound development project has seen the building of a new Sixth Form Centre, Music School, Sports Grounds and Dining Hall.

Academic results are the best in the area, with 37% of GCSEs being awarded 8/9 grades this year with 58% grade 9-7, and 48% of A levels being graded at A/A*. They are improving every year, and compete very favourably with other independent schools; expectations are rightly high, and we are ambitious for our children.

Doncaster is a thriving and historic town with excellent communication links, little more than 90 minutes by train from Kings Cross. The culture, facilities and shops of York, Leeds, Harrogate, Nottingham and Sheffield are all within easy reach. Doncaster is surrounded by many beautiful villages in the countryside of South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire, and property prices are very reasonable indeed.
