CUMBERLAND / POWNALL STBACKGROUNDBACKGROUND

BACKGROUNDAll three sites are currently occupied by The King’s School Macclesfield, which is one of England’s leading schools, with a reputation for delivering outstanding education for over 500 years. The school has been in existence in Macclesfield since 1502 and has been based at the principal Cumberland Street site since 1854.

The school is set to relocate to a new purpose built facility at Derby Fields, Alderley Road, Macclesfield and is to dispose of the existing sites in order to assist in the relocation to the new site.

Simultaneous vacant possession of the sites will be provided to the selected bidder (or bidders) upon completion of the new school at Derby Fields.

The sites are to be sold on an informal tender basis. Bidders can choose to bid on one, two or all three of the available sites.
