[edit] History
The school was built in 1934, on Woods Lane, opened in 1935 and was named Woods Lane Secondary Modern School. Even today the school commonly (and unofficially) retains the name Woods Lane School. In the 1960s and 70s there was an extensive building programme, and because of the new size the name was changed to Cheadle Hulme High School in 1974.[6]
There have been recent discussions relating the feasibility of combining the high school with Cheadle and Marple Sixth Form College - falling through due to financial reasons.[7]
[edit] Language College
In September 1997 the school became a Language College, a status which is unique to it in the borough, and allowing it to assume the name of Cheadle Hulme College. All students study one language to certification level and a substantial percentage study two. The mainstream languages are French, German, Spanish and Italian. French and German lessons are also taught in the seven feeder primary schools. Many events, such as a Christmas Market held each year, are part of the Language College status. In 2005 it reverted back to Cheadle Hulme High School to avoid confusion with the local sixth form college.
[edit] Training School
In September 2000 the school became one of the first in the country to become a training school for Initial Teacher Training and Continuing Professional Development. Training schools are "centres of excellence for training" and "experts in adult learning and the transfer of skills, and provide a venue for high quality professional development".[8]
