Winterhill School is a secondary school located in Kimberworth, Rotherham, in the United Kingdom. The school was formed in 2004 by the merger of Old Hall Comprehensive School and the nearby Kimberworth Comprehensive School. It lies on the former site of Old Hall School, at the corner of High Street and Little Common Lane in Kimberworth. The name of the new school was chosen by pupils and is derived from the “Winter Hills”, a range of hills that lie directly behind the school. The name “Old Hall” lived on for a time in the nearby Old Hall City Learning Centre, but this has now been renamed the “City Learning Centre @ Winterhill”.

The school employs around 150 staff and has an enrollment of between 1600 and 1700 pupils and accommodates children from Years 7-11. There is no sixth form, but many leaving pupils go on to complete further education in other institutions, such as [http://thomroth.ac.uk Thomas Rotherham College] and Rotherham College of Arts and Technology

Winterhill School has also become an Accredited Test Centre for the European Computer Driving Licence.
