The Kingsway School is a comprehensive secondary school in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
The school has sites on each side of Kingsway; on Foxland Road in Gatley to the west and Broadway in Cheadle to the east.
In 2011, a house system was introduced with the houses named after famous people who lived or worked in Manchester (Rylands, Pankhurst, Whitworth, Gaskell, Turing and Lowry).
History
The school was formed in 1983 by the merger of Broadway Boys School and Kingsway Girls School, now called the Foxland and Broadway campuses after the roads they are on. In 2014, the school celebrated the 75th anniversary of Broadway Campus and the 50th anniversary of the Foxland Campus.[2]
