Work is finally set to get underway on Tytherington School's new two-storey sports pavilion.

Construction firm B&E Boys has been appointed to deliver a 50-week programme of works at the school on Manchester Road.

This includes a full substructure and superstructure, internal finishes throughout, lift installation, mechanical and electrical services, and associated external works and drainage.

Once complete, the facility support both student development and the wider Macclesfield community.

Headteacher Manny Botwe said: "This new facility will be a great addition to the school and provide improved sporting facilities for the local community.

"It will also provide additional classrooms and study space for our growing sixth form."

Plans for the pavilion were approved by Cheshire East Council in the summer of 2024.

The ground floor will include a welcoming common room, a café area, quiet study space, toilets, and high quality changing and shower facilities.

On the first floor, new space will be added for the school's growing population, particularly supporting the aspirations of its sixth form.

Alongside the pavilion, the project includes new cycle parking to encourage sustainable and active travel, as well as a new ball-catch net to improve safety and playability of the sports grounds.

The changing rooms, toilets and viewing gallery will be available as part of the hire of the artificial grass pitch, with the common room and café offered for community hire at a modest additional cost.
