History

The school was first established in 1977 as Coppenhall High School, after the amalgamation of two local schools; Brierley Street Boys School and Brierley Street Girls School. [2]

In 2005 it was announced that Coppenhall High School would amalgamate with another local school, Victoria Community Technology School [3] due to low enrollment rates in the Crewe and Nantwich areas. [4] The schools formally amalgamated on the Coppenhall High site in September 2007 and was renamed Sir William Stanier School. [5] New school buildings were then designed by Aedas and constructed by Willmott Dixon from 2010. [6]

Previously a community school administered by Cheshire East Council, [7] in September 2013 Sir William Stanier School converted to academy status. [8] The school was then sponsored by the Congleton Multi-Academy Trust, however the trust merged with the Knutsford Multi-Academy Trust in September 2020 to form The Learning Alliance. [9] [10] [11] The Learning Alliance merged with The Learning for Life Partnership trust in September 2023 to form The Learning Partnership, [12] [13] which currently sponsors the school.

In June 2023, the school was rumoured, with documents sent out to pupils and parents, to be renaming. [14] However, after feedback, the proposed changes did not go ahead.

Academics

Sir William Stanier School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. [15] The school also has a specialism in Science. [16]
