1. School

Cheadle Hulme School is a coeducational independent day school in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, England, for pupils aged 4 to 18 years old, and is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.Founded in 1855 as The Manchester Warehousemen and Clerks' Orphan Schools, its original intake consisted solely of "orphans" (children who had lost their fathers), who were sent to an existing school in Shaw Hall, Flixton. The school moved into its own premises in Park Place, Ardwick in 1861, and to its current location in 1869.The school's current status as an independent school dates back to 1976 when the Labour government abolished the Direct Grant System.Today the school covers 83 acres, has around 1,400 pupils, and in addition to its academic programme offers a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. The most recent inspection report rated pupils’ achievement throughout the school, the range of extra curricular activities, pupils' personal development and leadership and management as "outstanding", and confirmed that "the school meets all the requirements of the Independent School Standards Regulations 2010".In 2011 the school launched a ten year strategic plan, including aims to spend 10% of the gross fee income in bursarial support, reintroduce the house system and complete various building projects.HistoryFoundationIn the early 1850s, life expectancy for those working in the inner-cities was extremely poor and Manchester was no exception. Many of these workers were worried about the fate of their children should they die. A school for the orphans of warehousemen and clerks, which later became the Royal Russell School, had already been set up in London in 1853, and on 20 September 1854, a representative from the London school met with some Manchester men (One of whom was Ezekiel Browne) in the Albion Hotel to gather support for it. During the discussion, support for a local school became clear, and following this meeting a committee was formed to develop the idea. The school was to be called "The Manchester District Schools for Orphans and Necessitous Children of Warehousemen and Clerks", and it was to be open to all children, regardless of gender or religious background.
