The school sits on the site of a demolished country manor, Etwall Hall, traditionally of the Port family who were the wealthy landowners/farmers of the parish.

[4] In 1952, the Derbyshire County Council bought Etwall Hall from Reg Parnell, the famous racing car driver.

The hall had been used during the Second World War by the British Army, first as a petrol depot and later as an equipment supply centre and been left in a somewhat dilapidated state.

[citation needed] The family's most famous son, Sir John Port, was the founder of the nearby Repton School and committed to the furthering of education for young men in the village.
