A new high school is set to be built for a 'new town' within a long-neglected area of Manchester.

Manchester council said that a new secondary school for the Victoria North project has been given the go-ahead by the Government. The 11-16 years co-educational school will be run by Dixons Academy Trust.

It will be at the heart of a plan to regenerate an area between Collyhurst and the city centre. The plans include the building of 15,000 new homes between Victoria station and Queen’s Park in Collyhurst over the next 15 years, in seven new and existing neighbourhoods.

A new Metrolink station is also planned to serve the area. Manchester council said the 430 homes have already been completed, with another 550 currently on site.

A further 4,801 homes are yet to gain planning app
