January 2022 - Consultation

Kent County Council is proposing to make the following changes to Foreland Fields Special School:

• Open a satellite provision for 6 Year R/Key Stage 1 primary aged pupils at Garlinge Primary School and Nursery
• Open a satellite provision for 12 Key Stage 4 students and 12 Post -16 students at EKC Group (Broadstairs College)
• Increase the designated number from 200 to 230

This proposal will provide students with opportunities for integration at a mainstream provision and will provide additional opportunities and choice for Foreland Fields pupils.

The County Council is the strategic commissioner of education provision in Kent and has a duty to ensure that sufficient school places are available to meet demand. The Commissioning Plan for Education Provision in Kent 2021-25 sets out our commissioning intentions and is revised annually.
