Kent County Council (KCC), together with the Governing Body, are seeking the views of parents, staff and other stakeholders on a proposal to permanently change the age range of Blean Primary School from 4-11 years to 3-11 years, to enable the school to run a pre-school provision.
The County Council’s Commissioning Plan for Education Provision in Kent 2023-27 is a five-year rolling plan which is updated annually. It sets out our future plans as Strategic Commissioner of Education Provision across all types and phases of education in Kent.
It also set out how we will carry out our responsibility for early education and childcare. Early Education and Childcare is legislatively governed by the Childcare Acts of 2006 and 2016. These place a duty on all local authorities to improve outcomes for young children, to cut inequalities between them, to secure sufficient childcare, with adequate flexibility to allow parents to work. A copy of the plan can be viewed from this link: Commissioning Plan for Education Provision - Kent County Council
Blean Primary School currently provides early years education for children who turn five when in the Reception class.
The proposed pre-school provision at Blean primary school will be located in a spare classroom and will accommodate up to 26 children three and four year olds.
Have your say
If you wish to comment on this proposal, please respond by:
sending a copy of the response form by post to: Robert Veale, Assistant Director Education, East Kent, Brook House, Reeves Way, Whitstable, Kent CT5 3SS
