  • Joint Statement from West Kent Secondary School Headteachers
    St John’s Road Tunbridge Wells Kent TN4 9PG Tel: 01892 520732 E-mail: [email protected] Headmaster: Edward Wesson MA Website: www.skinners-school.co.uk Joint Statement from West Kent Secondary School Headteachers Open Events Following discussion, the Headteachers of West Kent Secondary Schools (listed below) have collectively taken the decision that for the foreseeable future all ‘Open Events’ for transition to secondary school in year 7 and for transition to the Sixth Form across our schools will be hosted online, not on our school premises. Whilst we all recognise the value of ‘Open Events’ in enabling students and parents to find out more about the educational provision offered at our schools, our priority during this current public health crisis is to ensure the safety of our schools and the wider community. Open Events in our schools are popular and inevitably bring parents and children from a wide area into relatively close proximity which increases the risk of community transmission. As a group of schools we are committed to ensuring we offer an online experience that supports all families to make informed decisions on school transfer. Each school will, of course, plan their online open events to take account of their specific context. Parents are encouraged to check the websites of our individual schools for further information.

    Education Update Sevenoaks Scrutiny Committee Tuesday 24 th April 2018 Roger Gough, Cabinet Member for Children Young People and Education School Place Provision In Sevenoaks Education Commissioning Plan • The Kent Commissioning Plan for Education sets out the need for 2018-24 • Previous Plan forecasting accuracy was as follows: – Year R: Sevenoaks 2.9%, Kent overall -0.1% – Year 7: Sevenoaks 2.4%, Kent overall -0.1% Context • Going forward, any additional demand in Sevenoaks is now mainly predicated on inward migration. • Across the district, there is sufficient capacity for primary, for both Year R and for Total Roll. • Small pockets of higher demand, but partly driven by parental preference. • Secondary picture skewed by the lack of Grammar provision. • More than 40% of secondary aged students in the South of the district, travel to attend schools in Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells. • Introduction of Weald Of Kent Grammar Annexe will help to alleviate this. Context • Likely further Secondary expansions will be required as there are only 3 Secondary provisions in Sevenoaks (plus the Grammar Annexe). • No Primary year groups under significant pressures on a district wide basis. Swanley/Hextable most likely to encounter pressures in the future, but this is not being realised as yet. • Even though Primary numbers dipped slightly in 2017, they now appear to have plateaued. • However, the growth in primary numbers in recent years is now starting to impact on the secondary demand. School Commissioning: Mainstream • Sevenoaks Primary: Planning Group Short Term Medium term Long Term by 2018-19 by 2019-20 by 2020-21 2021-22 to 2024-25 1FE in Swanley and Swanley and Hextable Hextable.
