History
Hill Brow School was restricted to boys-only and never admitted scholarship boys or others funded by the public purse on grounds of academic merit rather than the ability of their parents to pay the fees.

In the 1890s, there was a Hillbrow Boys' Preparatory School in Rugby that was attended by Rupert Brooke from 1897 until mid-1901; however there can have been no connection between the two schools since Hill Brow School first appears in the 1893/4 edition of Pike's Eastbourne Directory located in Bolsover…
