Crown Street Primary is being built to provide school places for families living in the skyscrapers in and around Great Jackson Street, Deansgate Square and surrounding areas.

The four-storey building - the height is described as ‘relatively unique’ for a primary school - would provide 210 spaces for primary age children and 26 nursery places. There will be eight classrooms for nursery, reception and years one to six.
