It opened as Bramhall County Grammar School on Seal Road in 1967 as a co-educational three-form entry grammar school.
It became The Bramhall County High School in 1971 with a ten-form entry with a sixth form. New buildings were added to prepare for the comprehensive intake. Until April 1974 it was administered by Cheshire Education Committee. By 1973 it had a 12-form entry with around 1400 boys and girls. With the new LEA of Stockport, it became known as Bramhall High School in 1974. In 1975 it was a 9-form entry school with around 300 in the sixth form, and again was 12-form entry in 1980. Similar to Marple Hall School, the sixth form was closed in the early 1990s. There are no 11-18 schools in Stockport LEA.
Bramhall High School is partnered with Kitivo Secondary School in Tanzania. Bramhall students raise money to help the students and teachers in Kitivo. Their efforts have resulted in substantial improvements to the school, including a dormitory.
