Spratton Hall School
Spratton Hall is located in Spratton Village which lies 8 miles outside Northampton, UK on the A5199 Welford Road.
History
The main house was built in on the site of an earlier farmhouse and owned by the Clark family as a private home.[1] It is mainly constructed from limestone from Kingsthorpe. The Grade II listed building passed through several hands until Mr K C Hunter and his wife bought it and opened it as a boys’ boarding school in 1951 with 20 boys.[2]
In 1972 the Charitable Trust was established so the school was administered by a board of governors. In 1975 when the Hunters retired, Mr Bickley became Head Master and girls were introduced to the school. In 1987 it became a day-only school.
Spratton Hall’s crest originates from the story of Saint Hubertus’ vision, Patron Saint of Hunters.
