Mossley CE Primary School is a co-educational Church of England Primary School with academy status located in the town of Congleton in Cheshire, England. [2] [3]
The first site of Mossley CE Primary School was built in 1845, [4] and cost £910 to construct. [5]
The school opened it was called Mossley National School. [5] [6] [7]
The current Boundary Lane site of the school was purchased in 1963, this was done due to the former school buildings needing to be replaced due to long standing overcrowding issues. [7]
Parents began to raise concerns about the conditions of the school by 1970, with almost 200 parents complaining of overcrowded classrooms and subpar washroom facilities. [8] [9] Overcrowding at the school was to the extent that one class lacked a classroom, and it was suggested that they should be taught in a temporary hut located in a nearby carpark. [10] In 1972 approval was given for the construction of a new school to replace the school at time, the new school was planned to be named "Congleton Moseley County Primary School". [11]
Mossley CE Primary School moved to its current site in 1975. [5]
Upon moving to the current site, the old school buildings from 1845 were used by a local scout group. The old school buildings are now known as the Mossley Community Centre. [5]

On 28 July 2012, a planning application was submitted by Mossley CE Primary School to build a new building on at school, the new building was planned to be used by the local pre-school. The planning application was withdrawn later that year. [14]
