Plans for the next phase of development for a special education school in Stockport have been lodged - after staff and pupils were forced to move out an old building due to 'structural issues.' Following their unveiling of a new £23 million facility at Royal School Manchester earlier this year, the latest plan from The Seashell Trust for a new college, administration, sports and training building has been submitted for approval for their Cheadle Hulme based site.

The old building, which is no longer fit for purpose, would be demolished and replaced by the new block.

The old school building became vacant on the completion of the first phase of redevelopment back in February 2023. The Seashell Trust is a nationally recognised charity based in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, which operates as a residential school (Royal School Manchester) and college (Royal College Manchester) for children and young people.

Seashell specialises in providing education and care to children and young people with some of the most complex neuro-disabilities in society, including a combination of deafness, blindness and autism, attendant with profound physical and multiple learning disabilities.
