Rose Hill School, Alderley, Preparatory boarding school in Alderley, England
Rose Hill School was a preparatory institution housed in a Grade II Listed neo-Elizabethan manor with multiple wooded areas, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and extensive playing fields. The school accepted children aged 2 to 14 and offered both day and boarding options.
The school relocated from Banstead, Surrey to Alderley in 1939 when Headmaster T G Hughes purchased the Alderley House property. It operated for several decades at this location before closing in September 2009 and merging with Querns Westonbirt School.
The house system organized students into three competing groups - Romans, Greeks, and Trojans - creating a sense of community identity. The school motto 'Conando floreamus' reflected values that shaped daily life and interactions among pupils.
The school grounds are straightforward to explore, with different areas spread across the extensive property for various activities. Visitors should keep in mind that the building is protected as a historic site and the grounds are no longer in use as a school.
After the school closed, the property was used as a filming location for the BBC hospital drama Casualty during its 24th season. The historic buildings and grounds provided an authentic backdrop for the television production.
