Rated as Good by Ofsted in 2019, Wilmslow High School is heavily oversubscribed in both the 11 - 16 sector and the sixth form. Student numbers have increased with more and more students from outside the town and from the independent sector of education seeking places. As the only state secondary school in the town, it enjoys good relationships with the partner primary schools in Wilmslow, Handforth and Alderley Edge, from where the majority of our students come
