It is split up into 5 Colleges: Bridgewater College, Imperial College, Urbis College, Victoria College and Rylands College.

History

The school was established in 1974 by a merger of Fylde Lodge High School, which was located in Priestnall Road, Heaton Mersey, and Stockport High School for Girls, which was located in Cale Green. The Stockport High School building was then used first by Davenport High School, and then by Hillcrest Grammar School from 1983.[1]

Uniform

The school's uniform consists of a white shirt with college tie, a navy skirt (girls) or navy trousers (boys), navy tights or socks, black shoes, navy jumper or cardigan and navy college blazer.

Colleges

There are five colleges each of which is assigned certain subjects. They are as follows: Bridgewater – maths and ICT; Imperial – geography and science; Rylands – drama, English, history and media; Urbis – technology, beliefs and values, music, art; and Victoria – PE and MFL. They are all named after Manchester landmarks – the Bridgewater Hall, the Imperial War Museum, Urbis, the John Rylands Library, and Victoria Baths.
