[edit] History

In its early days Cheadle Hulme was not centred around a parish church and instead was at this time was based around a number of separate hamlets. Lane End was a group of several cottages and three farms located close to Millington Hall.^[6] It is from this hamlet, the modern school gains its name.

The school was constructed in the late 1960s. Prior to 1990 the school had separate buildings for infant and junior school education. At this stage the infant building was expanded, redeveloped and modernised.^[7]

The junior school building was later demolished to make way for a residential development. The school has approximately 210 students with up to 35 children being newly admitted each year.
