Currently under construction, a new primary school designed to serve the Kings Moat housing development is expected to open in September 2026.

Now named as Kings Moat Community Primary School, it has been commissioned by Cheshire West and Chester Council to open initially as a 210 place mainstream primary school.

It will have the flexibility to add a further 105 places in the future as the housing development progresses and the pupil place need increases.

Kings Moat Community Primary School will sit centrally within the development, which lies just off Wrexham Road.

New homes will surround the school, which is located near the new community playing fields, 3G pitches and a public park planned for the area.

The school will be run by the Sandstone Trust following their appointment in February.

Jason Lowe, CEO of the Sandstone Trust said: "Naming the school Kings Moat seemed logical and the natural choice to reflect its location within the new housing development.

"It's been great to see the work progressing on site and we look forward to moving in and working with the council's Education Team to open the school next year.

"We are also eager to hear from the local community about their priorities for the new school and to make sure the school's identity is representative of their views.

"Please take part in our consultation which runs until 13 July."

Cllr Adam Langan said: "The growing development at Kings Moat will soon have their own dedicated primary school, which will become a welcome addition to the whole community.

"We look forward to working in partnership with the Sandstone Trust in establishing the new school."

Chris Wynne, managing director at Wynne Construction said: "We are thrilled to have been appointed to design and build the Kings Moat Community Primary School.

"With our expertise in constructing educational facilities, I'm confident we will deliver high quality results whilst giving back to the community.

"We look forward to welcoming apprentices and work experience students on site to give them a hands-on experience in the construction industry as part of our social value initiatives."
