WORK on a new primary school in Nantwich is underway with an opening date set for September 2026.

- 

On Monday (June 2) construction work started on Kingsbourne Academy primary school, a new 210-pupil school on the Kingsley Fields housing development.

The school will provide an array of outdoor learning provisions, as well as an athletics track, multi-use sports field and a kitchen garden. Modern and stylish classrooms will be designed to provide an interactive hands-on approach to learning.

The construction is being led by North West based company Conlon Construction.

Councillor Laura Crane, chair of Cheshire East Council's children and families committee, said: “Although there were delays beyond the council's control, I'm pleased to see that construction is now beginning on this site, bringing us closer to delivering a brand-new school for this growing community.
