New primary school named as Kings Moat Community Primary School

The new primary school under construction on Moat Lane has been designed to serve the Kings Moat housing development off Wrexham Road and is currently expected to open in September 2026.

The school has been commissioned by Cheshire West and Chester Council to be able to open initially as a 210 place (one form entry) mainstream primary school, with the flexibility to add a further 105 places (half form entry) 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 with new homes surrounding the school and located close to the new community playing fields, 3G pitches and the new public park planned for the area.

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