History

Former schools

St Augustine's Grammar School was an RC grammar school on Stancliffe Road, Sharston Mount in the north of Wythenshawe off the A560, which opened in 1969. It became the upper school of St John Plessington High School (comprehensive) in 1977. This became part of St Paul's RC High School in 1984, and the Sharston site became derelict in 1987, and demolished in 1988. Another RC grammar school in south Manchester was St Bede's College, Manchester at Whalley Range.
