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

Both Winterhill and the nearby Wingfield Business and Enterprise College were rebuilt with extra capacity to accommodate the former Kimberworth students.
