A NEW school site in south Manchester set to open in September would be partly-demolished under the latest HS2 plans.
The Manchester Islamic Grammar School for Girls will be moving to Didsbury next month.
But the project to bring high-speed trains to the city now involves knocking down part of the school’s new site at the former Fielden Park college campus.
Plans for a ventilation shaft at the former Hollies Convent School site feature an access road which passes through the Muslim girls’ school’s new home.
The ventilation shaft would regulate air quality and temperature in the HS2 tunnels below it. A ‘sizeable’ structure would also be built on the land above it.
The team behind the multi-billion pound project said it chose this location before the Manchester Islamic Educational Trust (MIET) announced its plans to use the land as a school. But the trust says its future is now under threat.
