  • Bishop Chavasse Primary School Section 10
    Section 10 Consultation Report Bishop Chavasse Primary School Tonbridge Kent Prepared by Christine Bayliss For Tenax Schools Trust BACKGROUND The Tenax Schools Trust is a multi-academy trust led by the Ofsted-rated ‘outstanding’ Bennett Memorial Diocesan School in Tunbridge Wells. The Trust submitted a bid to the Department for Education in 2015 for a new primary school in Tonbridge. The rationale for the bid was threefold: to enable Tonbridge parents to have the choice of a Church of England Primary School as one does not currently exist in the Town; to cater for the rapid population growth and lack of sufficient places for reception aged children; and the need for more good and outstanding primary schools in the area. The bid promised a traditional primary education for 60 pupils in each year group underpinned by a Christian ethos. In terms of admissions, up to 25% of places (up to 15 places annually) will be allocated on the basis on parental attendance at a Church of England Church. The project is supported by Kent County Council as a key element of their strategy to meet demand for much needed primary places in Tonbridge. The bid by Tenax Schools Trust was approved by the Department for Education in spring 2015 and moved into the pre-opening stage immediately thereafter. The pre-opening stage involves securing the site, applying for planning permission to be followed by construction of the permanent building and, in this case, temporary facilities for the first year of operation. It also involves setting up and running an application process for prospective parents and recruiting the head teacher and key staff.
