The school was founded in 1921 as Quarry Bank High School for Boys and its first intake of 225 pupils was on 11 January 1922.[1] The first headmaster of the school was R. F. Bailey (an old Etonian), who formed the school on the principles of public school houses. Subsequently, the first year boys' house was named Bailey.[1] The current headteacher is Lee Ratcliffe.[1]

The school has several notable former pupils, including founding Beatles member John Lennon, music producer Guy Chambers and the architect Sir James Stirling.
