Kimberworth Comprehensive School was a comprehensive school in Rotherham, operating from 1914 to 2004. It merged with Old Hall Comprehensive School to form Winterhill School.

History

The institution opened in September 1914 as a school for 11–14 year olds.^[4] The buildings were designed by the Rotherham architect James Knight. It later became a comprehensive school, with the upper age extended to 16.

The school closed at the end of the 2003–2004 academic year. The students and many staff transferred to the neighbouring Old Hall Comprehensive School, which was renamed Winterhill School as a result of the amalgamation. Both Winterhill and the nearby Wingfield Business and Enterprise College were rebuilt with extra capacity to accommodate the former Kimberworth students.

Ofsted inspections

Between the commencement of Ofsted inspections in September 1993 and the school's closure in August 2004, it underwent two full inspections:
