£22m Mossley school opens
Date published: 01 March 2011
Pupils will be studying in the new Mossley Hollins High School from tomorrow as the £22 million building opens fully for lessons.
It has been built on the playing fields of the old school in Huddersfield Road and holds 750 pupils, many from the east side of Oldham.
The development is part of Tameside’s £300 million Building Schools for the Future Programme, its biggest investment in schools since Victorian times.
Governors had lobbied for a new school for the past 10 years because the old building was expensive to run, on a constricted site and had poor access arrangements for people with physical disabilities.
