It began as a Free Grammar School established by Anthony Gell in 1576. The school moved to its present site in 1908 and became a voluntary controlled school in 1944. It became a coeducational comprehensive school in 1965. Previously a voluntary controlled school administered by Derbyshire County Council, in August 2023 the school converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Embark Federation, but continues to be supported by the Anthony Gell School Foundation charitable trust.
Anthony Gell School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels, OCR Nationals and further BTECs. As of 2011 the school's GCSE scores were increasing.
