History
The school was established in 1974 by a merger of Fylde Lodge High School, which was located in Priestnall Road, Heaton Mersey, and Stockport High School for Girls, which was located in Cale Green. Priestnall School took over the Fylde Lodge High School building. The Stockport High School building was subsequently used first by Davenport High School, then by Hillcrest Grammar School from 1983.
Fylde Lodge High School was built in the 1960s as an all girls school. It was still an all girls school at the time of the merger. Males were allowed to study at Priestnall School from 1987. Priestnall still to this day keeps some heritage of Fylde Lodge, such as a statue of a lion in the school quad holding a shield with an original inscription from Fylde Lodge High School.
Uniform
The school has a strict uniform policy and consists of a white shirt with college tie, a navy skirt with the school logo (girls) or navy trousers (boys), navy tights or socks, black shoes, navy jumper or cardigan and navy college blazer. There are also certain rules on for P.E. uniform, for boys it is a black Priestnall PE Polo Shirt, Priestnall PE socks, Black Priestnall PE shorts for summer and the option of black Priestnall PE trousers for winter.
