Founded in 1855 as The Manchester Warehousemen and Clerks' Orphan Schools, it sent pupils to an existing school in Shaw Hall, Flixton, before it moved into its own premises in Park Place, Ardwick, in 1861, and to its current location in 1869.
The school became independent in 1976 when the Labour government abolished the direct grant system.
The school grounds covers 83 acres (34 ha), has around 1,400 pupils, and in addition to its academic programme offers a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. The most recent inspection report rated "the quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements" and "the quality of the pupils’ personal development" as "excellent". The report found that Reception children demonstrate "exceptional achievement" and Junior School pupils achieve an "excellent standard across all their areas of learning". In the Senior School, pupils’ success in public examinations reflect the "high academic standards" of the school and that pupils "develop skills, knowledge and understanding to a high standard across a wide range of subjects."
In 2011, the school launched a ten-year strategic plan, including aims to spend 10% of the gross fee income in bursarial support, reintroduce the house system and complete various building projects.
