History

The school was opened in 1991 by Princess Alexandra following the merger of Sale Boys' Grammar School and Sale Girls' Grammar School on the site of the old girls' school on Marsland Road. The boys' school was on Moss Lane, but since the merger, this site has been converted into a housing development. A pavilion was demolished to make way for the new houses. A second site, the Claremont Centre located near Sale town centre, was formerly used for sixth form teaching. [6]

Sites

The school only has one main site now: the main Marsland Road site. The Sixth Form Claremont Centre used to be the exclusive sixth form area.

Marsland Road

The main Marsland Road site as it stands today consists of:

The site has extensive fields towards the rear on which two football pitches, a rugby pitch, a running track, and 2 sandpits are situated. Also between the fields and the school buildings is a large concrete area which incorporates a further two sandpits, four dedicated tennis or netball courts, 4 table tennis tables, a basketball court and an area used by pupils to play sports during break and lunch periods.

The school has more than 400 computers with 7 ICT suites available (including a Language Lab). Software on computers is Windows 7 [ citation needed ]

Claremont Centre

Situated in Sale town centre, a mile from the main site, the Claremont Centre was used exclusively for Sixth Form lessons and for some GCSE language exams, up until Friday 9 May 2014, when Trafford Music Service started to use the facility.
