£22m new school shapes up

NEW Mossley Hollins school well under way

WORK is taking shape on the new £22million Mossley Hollins High School.

It is being built on the playing fields of the current school in Huddersfield Road, Mossley, and is due to open to 750 pupils in February, 2011.

The existing building is on a steep slope and the site is too small and restricted.

The development is part of Tameside’s £300million Building Schools for the Future Programme, its biggest investment in schools since Victorian times.
