- Comment: Please show independent, reliable sourcing to substantiate the statement that the school is notable for being coeducational eg through newspaper publications or similar. A single non peer-reviewed paper and primary sources alone are insufficient to meet WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES - secondary schools are not automatically presumed notable. lizthegrey (talk) 00:24, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Bradbury Central school (formally Altrincham Higher Elementary)[1][2][3] was initially a mixed secondary school located on Queens Road, Hale, Cheshire. [4]
The school opened in 1910 and was renamed to Bradbury Central in 1914[3] in honor of Captain Edward Kinder Bradbury[5][3] an Altrincham recipient of the Victoria Cross in WW1. The school became one of three selective schools in Cheshire, the last entrance exam taking place in 1939.[1]
In 1965 girls were moved to the new Delahays school[4] on Green Lane, Timperley, and Bradbury Central became a single sex all-boys school.[4] Consequently renamed to Bradbury Secondary School for Boys or just Bradbury Boys' School[3]
In 1985 Bradbury Boys' School merged with Delahays Girls' School. The new school was established on the existing site of Delahays at Green Lane Timperley and opened as Green Lane High in 1985.[4] Green Lane High is now an academy school known as Altrincham College.
