Trafford Council has a duty to provide school places for every child resident within the borough. This duty has been met by expanding a number of Primary Schools across the borough to meet local demand. Altrincham and Sale experience the greatest demand within Trafford, therefore, Trafford Council are now publishing a proposal for the physical expansion of Templemoor Infant and Nursery School to move the admission number from 60 (2 forms of entry) to 90 (3 forms of entry).
The Council held preliminary discussions with the School and then the School joined with Council Officers to consider submissions from 3 contractors before appointing Conlon Construction Ltd. and their associated architects, Bowker Sadler Architecture. A series of meetings has been held to allow the School to participate in developing the proposal alongside Council Officers and the appointed Design and Build Contractor.
Stakeholders were invited to the school on Tuesday 17 May 2022 and the informal consultation now continues online.
You are invited to comment on the proposed plans detailed below. Comments should be submitted by midnight Tuesday 24 May 2022.
The school currently admits 2 forms of entry (60 pupils) in each year group, 180 pupils in total, plus the Nursery with 26 full time or 52 part time places. The plan is to expand the school by 1FE to 3 FE or 90 pupils in each year group, 270 pupils in total, but the Nursery will remain at 26 places.
The proposed expansion at Templemoor Infant School would include the reconfiguration of the school entrance and hall extension as well as 2 additional classrooms to create EYFS block which will enhance the curriculum opportunities.
If the proposal goes ahead, a new single storey extension will be added to the current Nursery classroom block to create an Early Years Foundation Stage.
It will consist of 2 additional classrooms, intervention space, office, hygiene room and WCs.
The proposal includes an extension to the hall and the reconfiguration of some internal spaces to create a larger entrance area and additional group space for phonics.
Externally the staff car park will be expanded with a further 4 spaces and the playground will be extended.
As part of this proposal there is a desire to open a temporary vehicle entrance on James Street for the construction traffic and to maintain a pedestrian entrance once construction is complete to create a 3rd pedestrian entrance to school.
