A Short History of Ellowes Hall

Ellowes Hall School opened in 1966, having being built upon the site of the old Ellowes Hall. The original Ellowes Hall (or 'Ellors, Feredays Cottage', as it was known then) was built for the Fereday family in 1821. By 1846 the Ellowes Hall was described as being a 'very commodious mansion house'.

When the school opened it was part of Staffordshire, only later becoming part of the newly created Metropolitan Borough of Dudley. Over the years, particularly the 1990's, some excellent purpose built facilities were added.

More recently, we worked hard on our submission to be a Sports College and in March 2005 we became the Ellowes Hall Sports College.

We have more students than ever before and our results improve year upon year.

We work closely with our primary schools and have plans to expand our sports and other ventures into the community of Gornal.
