Coxheath Primary School

The Coppice Primary Partnership academy trust and the Local Governing Body, with support from Kent County Council (KCC), are proposing to expand Coxheath Primary School to help provide more places for local children.

KCC has identified the need for additional Year R places in the Coxheath planning group. In order to ensure there are sufficient places for local children going forwards, KCC has asked the Academy to provide additional provision by expanding from 420 places to 630 places, increasing the published admission number (PAN) from 60 to 90 for Year R entry in September 2025.

KCC as the Local Authority (LA), has a statutory duty to ensure sufficient school places are available. 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 KCC’s future plans as Strategic Commissioner of Education Provision across all types and phases of education in Kent. A copy of the plan can be viewed from this link:

For provision planning purposes KCC’s forecasting methodology produces forecasts according to planning groups. These planning groups are nationally recognised by central Government; Coxheath Primary School is part of the Coxheath primary planning group.
