Sir William Stanier School is a co-educational secondary school located in Crewe in the English county of Cheshire.[1] The school is named after William Stanier, a former railway engineer, and Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

History

[edit]

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

[edit]

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