A new Church of England primary school costing £5.452 million is to be built in the village of Saughall near Chester. It follows the approval of plans last year to amalgamate The Ridings Infant and The Thomas Wedge Church of England Junior Schools. Cheshire’s Executive put in place the finance for the scheme which also includes a contribution from the schools involved.

The Primary objective of Saughall is for it to be a Low Carbon Learning centre with the main goal of the scheme to become the first BREEAM excellent rated building in the United Kingdom. And with the pre-assessment of the building coming in at a score of 78% (Excellent) this looks extremely promising. With the use of the Biomass boiler alone this school will be saving a total of 12.5 tonnes of CO2 a year.
