The school is situated at the heart of Alsager and has a wide catchment from within the town. The main school opened in October 1988 and was extended in September 2012.
The main building had significant building works undertaken during 2021-23 and this included the installation of a new fire alarm system, a large part of the roof replaced and the replacement of a large part of the exterior fence. The school is on two sites and the Annex building is situated opposite the main school.
This building houses our Reception class and our newly opened pre-school (2025).
The annex has had a number of improvements in recent years including: re-configuring the layout of the building to include a staff room, remodelling the old year 1 classroom to make one large open space , a small extension so that pre-school has toilets within the classroom, new windows and improvements to both the indoor and outdoor environments.
