School Expansion Tied to New Homes | Manchester News
Description
St John’s CE Primary School in Mosley Common is set to nearly triple its student capacity—from 22 to 60 kids—thanks to a massive housing development, with developers pledging over £8 million to fund the expansion. The project includes seven classrooms, a new hall, admin block, nursery, and sports facilities, rolling out between 2026 and 2035 to match home construction. But here’s the catch: the council may have to pay upfront, risking financial strain if developer payments lag or fall short. With 1,143 new homes expected to bring in 34 new pupils annually, the school expansion is vital to avoid overcrowding in Tyldesley—though the council’s cabinet must still approve the plan, balancing growth with funding realities.
