Sevenoaks Action for Community Education (ACE)
IMPORTANT The future of Sevenoaks Secondary Education – Make your voice heard! Show that you care about school provision in Sevenoaks
Please complete the survey before Sunday 15th July 2012 Sufficient secondary school places for Sevenoaks that meet the needs of the community
Have YOUR say about secondary school provision in Sevenoaks Complete the secondary school survey today Do you have children under the age of 18? If so, your input is vital and could help shape the future of secondary education in Sevenoaks for years to come What is Sevenoaks ACE?
Sevenoaks ACE is a voluntary organisation set-up to find out what our community really thinks about the provision of secondary education in our area. We want to ensure that there are sufficient secondary school places for the Sevenoaks area that meet the needs of the community. Haven’t there been discussions already on additional schools, including KCC approving a grammar school annexe in Sevenoaks?
KCC has identified a future shortfall of 180 secondary school places for the area and is planning to create 4 additional forms of entry at a selective grammar annexe based in Sevenoaks and add 2 additional forms of entry to Knole Academy, taking it to 10 per year. The current plan is to have these additional places available by September 2015. The creation of schools is no longer solely within KCC’s control. This means that if another organisation were to set up a separate school then KCC may need to reconsider its current plans. This survey provides an opportunity for residents to signal their requirements for education now and in the future. Why should I complete this survey?
This is a unique chance to express your views on an issue that could affect you and your children’s future. We need to get as big a response as possible to ensure any ideas represent the entire community. Even if your children are already at secondary school, your experiences are really helpful to us. Please help us to shape the provision of secondary education in Sevenoaks. How do I complete the survey?
You can complete the survey in 1 of 3 ways: 1. Online 2. Download and print it 3. Collect a copy from a participating school/nursery or pre-school
