The school is situated in High Melton within the University Centre (validated by the University of Hull and the University of Wales). Site facilities include a nine-hole golf course, learning resource centre and restaurant. High Melton is a small village, dominated by its church and nearby Hall.

The family were major landowners. In 1883, Andrew Montagu was the owner of over 27,000 acres (110 km²) of land in five counties. The Hall is now one of the main buildings on the High Melton campus.
