Latest News on Plans to Expand Davyhulme Primary School - The project has been paused.

The local authority was progressing a proposal to expand Davyhulme Primary School from 70 to 90 pupils per year group, starting from the reception cohort in September 2024. This was intended as a longer term strategy to meet the future projected growth indicated by pupil forecasts completed back in 2020/21. A recent review of pupil forecasts indicates an improved sufficiency position in the Urmston area and so the council has now taken a decision to pause this project once a planning decision is received, with a commitment for the sufficiency position to be reviewed again in April 2024. If future demand for places indicates expansion is required in this area, the proposal will be stepped back up.
