Hadfield St Andrew's building The original school building was on Railway Street, as shown by the photo on the left. By the time this photo was taken the building was being used by the private Kingsmoor School.

Following the amalagamation of Glossop Grammar School, West End School and Castle School to form Glossop Comprehensive School in 1965, St Andrew's moved to the former Castle School buildings. St Andrew's had already been using temporary classrooms on Castle School fields for some years to house the Standard 4 classes. The photo on the right shows Castle School in 1908, just after it had been bult as Hadfield Council School.
