Sir Nicholas Mosley of Hough End Hall who died in 1612, left £100, £5 a year for 20 years, to pay for a schoolmaster at Chorlton Chapel.
The Wesleyan Methodists began a Sunday school and day school in about 1810, whereas the Anglican Sunday school did not begin until a later date.
In 1845 the Rev. William Birley was responsible for building a Church School at Chorlton Green.
When the building was found to be inadequate it was replaced by a new school on the site in 1879.
A number of private schools existed in the late 19th century including C. C. Dadley's grammar school and Tom Mostyn's art school.
In 1898 a school was under construction for the Roman Catholic parish of St Augustine and in 1901 a new church school was built at St Clement's Road and the old building was used for infants and juniors until this was no longer necessary.
In 1904, when Chorlton was incorporated into Manchester, a municipal school was opened and moved to its permanent premises in Oswald Road in 1909.

The secondary schools in Chorlton are Loreto High School, CHS South and Chorlton High School.
Chorlton High School, formerly Chorlton Grammar School, opened in 1925.
