==Education==
[[File:Stalybridge - former school on Waterloo Road.jpg|thumb|top|right|alt=|Former school on Waterloo Road]]Before 1910, primary education was provided by the church schools. In 1910 the borough opened its own school on Waterloo Road. In 1927, West Hill School, a central school for boys was opened. The central school for girls opened in 1930. Until 1980 secondary modern education was provided by schools in the town itself; and grammar school education by [[Hyde, Greater Manchester|Hyde]] Grammar School. For Roman Catholic pupils, grammar school education was provided by Harrytown, [[Bredbury]] and [[Xaverian]], Rusholme. Catholic secondary modern education was available from 1963 at St Peter and St Paul, Dukinfield.

In 1977 the Local Education Authority appealed to keep its grammar schools rather than be forced by the government to adopt a comprehensive system. The Lord of Appeal [[Geoffrey Lane, Baron Lane|Lord Lane]] was personally critical of [[Fred Mulley]], the Secretary of State for Education and Science for being "far from frank" about his reason for intervening in Tameside and joined in the judgement which found for Tameside and brought a halt to comprehensivisation. However, following the election of a Labour council in 1980 the local grammar schools were abolished and all the secondary modern and grammar schools in Stalybridge, Hyde and Dukinfield became comprehensives.
