Bramhall High School is a comprehensive high school in Bramhall, , England.
The school is a teacher training school in connection with Manchester Metropolitan University. It is situated in the east of Bramhall.
There are also a very wide range of extra curricular activities and the school has a long record of success in sport (with more than 50 school teams), music (with four bands and many ensembles), drama, public speaking and more.
It opened as Bramhall County Grammar School on Seal Road in 1967 as a co-educational three-form entry grammar school.
It became The Bramhall County High School in 1971 with a ten-form entry with a sixth form. New buildings were added to prepare for the comprehensive intake. Until April 1974 it was administered by Cheshire Education Committee. By 1973 it had a 12-form entry with around 1400 boys and girls. With the new LEA of Stockport, it became known as Bramhall High School in 1974. In 1975 it was a 9-form entry school with around 300 in the sixth form, and again was 12-form entry in 1980. Similar to Marple Hall School, the sixth form was closed in the early 1990s. Since the introduction of Academies under the educational reforms of Michael Gove a few secondary schools in Stockport have opened Sixth Form centres. Bramhall High School have started the consultation process into opening a sixth form at the school, with the view of opening in September 2015.
Bramhall High School is partnered with Kitivo Secondary School in Tanzania. Bramhall students raise money to help the students and teachers in Kitivo. Their efforts have resulted in substantial improvements to the school, including a dormitory.
The school came under the spotlight in 2002, when they asked parents of pupils to pay £10 per annum to help following cuts in funding from Education Authority under the Labour government.
The school was initially criticised after the installation of unisex toilets in 2000, as a move to tackle bullying and smoking. Subsequently, this development has become accepted Government policy, and the school features on the 'Bog Standard' website, was selected as a case study in good design by the Design Council and in 2007 was the subject of a follow-up documentary for the BBC Breakfast Programme. The unisex toilets were segregated again in August 2013.
