Our History
Byrchall High School is rich in history and was founded in 1588 by Sir Robert Byrchall. With only 12 children in one classroom, It was founded as Ashton Grammar School on land donated by a wealthy local land owner – William Gerrard. The original school building will be more commonly recognised to our local community as Garswood Library.
Recent History

OUR FUTURE
Byrchall Students of the Future
Encouraging aspiration in young people is essential for helping them realise their full potential and pursue meaningful goals. With a diverse curriculum, a stimulating and inclusive extra curricular offer for every child Byrchall makes learning exciting.
All students are encouraged to plan for a bright future, fostering a growth mindset where challenges are seen as opportunities to learn and grow rather than obstacles. By providing them with diverse role models, exposing them to various career paths, and celebrating their achievements, we can inspire ambition and a sense of possibility. Mentorship, personalised support, guidance, and creating an environment where their interests are nurtured can further ignite their drive to succeed.
Encouraging self-belief and resilience ensures that our young people remain focused on their aspirations, even in the face of challenges and a changing world, empowering them to set high standards for themselves and strive toward fulfilling futures in whatever area they choose.
