Background
History
The school was established in 1950 as a boys school, its name coming from Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater who commissioned the building of the nearby Bridgewater Canal in 1760. The school moved to its current semi-rural setting soon after, in the 1960s it became fully co-educational. A sixth form building was also constructed as the school expanded, its black and white design in keeping with the aesthetic of the older main building, Drywood Hall.
Visiting
In the 1990s, the school added new modern buildings and later, in the mid-2000s, added modern sporting facilities, such as an all-weather pitch and state of the art indoor sports hall. This new building, which houses a modern Drama studio as well, was opened in 2006 by the Northern Ireland international footballer, David Healy. The school is independently run, and as such, charges tuition fees.
