Cheadle Hulme School

Cheadle Hulme School is a coeducational private day school in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, England, for pupils aged 3 to 18. It is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. Founded in 1855 as the Manchester Warehousemen and Clerks' Orphan Schools, it sent pupils to an existing school in Shaw Hall, Flixton, before it moved into its own premises in Park Place, Ardwick, in 1861, and to its current location Cheadle Hulme in 1869. The school became independent in 1976 when the Labour government abolished the direct grant system. The school grounds covers 83 acres, and has over 1,500 pupils. Its educational experience is built upon the three pillars of being "Academic, Altruistic and Active". The most recent inspection report commended the school for its inclusive, values-driven ethos and the diverse and enriching educational experiences it offers to all pupils. The report commented that "the school's 'Waconian Values' of resilience, integrity, endeavour, contribution and compassion are central to how the school operates". It also highlighted the school's co-curricular programme as a significant strength.

Cheadle Hulme

Cheadle Hulme () is a suburb in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It lies in the historic county of Cheshire, 2 miles (3.2 km) south-west of Stockport and 8 miles (12.9 km) south-east of Manchester. In 2011, it had a population of 26,479. Evidence of Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon activity, including coins, jewellery and axes, have been discovered locally. The area was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was a large estate which included neighbouring Cheadle. In the early 14th century, it was split into southern and northern parts at about the future locations of Cheadle Hulme and Cheadle respectively. The area was acquired by the Moseley family in the 17th century and became known as Cheadle Moseley. Unlike many English villages, it did not grow around a church; instead it formed from several hamlets, many of which retain their names as neighbourhoods within Cheadle Hulme. In the late 19th century, Cheadle Hulme was united with Cheadle, Gatley and other neighbouring places to form the urban district of Cheadle and Gatley. This district was abolished in 1974 and Cheadle Hulme became a part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport. Cheadle Hulme has good transport links, with its own railway station and is in close proximity to Manchester Airport, the M60 motorway and the A34 road.
