Philips High School Phone Number

The school's origins lie in the history of Stand Grammar School. The grammar school was founded in 1688 under the will of Henry Siddall and had close connections with the Unitarian Chapel on Ringley Road, Stand, Whitefield. Indeed, so strong was this connection that, in the 18th century, it was a school of choice in the north-west for parents from dissenting families who did not want to send their children to Anglican schools.
