History
History
The first school established in Stocksbridge was a small single storey building constructed by a company of Independent Worshippers' on the site of the present NatWest bank in Stocksbridge. The school was named 'Ebeneezer' and was used as both a day school and a chapel. In 1927 Stocksbridge School was constructed on Shay House Lane and Ralph Ellis became the first headmaster. Between 1939 and 1945 the school played an active part in the war effort, and in March 1941 they raised a total of 91 pounds, 17 shillings and 8 pence as part of a 'War Weapons Week.' Two air raid shelters were also constructed, one on the site of the old car park and another on the site of the old sports hall. In 1971 the school became a comprehensive and was renamed to Stocksbridge High School.

Stocksbridge High School consists of two blocks, north and south. The south block is a modern construction completed in 2014 and the north completely refurbished. At the same time of constructing a new block a sports hall was added to the site which also contains a dance studio. The school serves the local communities of Stocksbridge and Deepcar, but also has a tradition of children attending from the High Green and Chapeltown areas of the city; a bus service supports the attendance of these out of catchment pupils'.
