It began as a Free Grammar School established by Anthony Gell in 1576. The school moved to its present site in 1908 and became a voluntary controlled school in 1944. It became a coeducational comprehensive school in 1965. As a voluntary controlled school, it is supported by the Anthony Gell School Foundation charitable trust, and administered by Derbyshire County Council.
