March 2022 - Consultation

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Kent County Council in partnership with St Nicholas Special School and Parkside Primary School is proposing to establish a satellite provision of St Nicholas Special School at Parkside Primary School for 24 primary aged pupils. This proposal will provide students with opportunities for integration at a mainstream provision and will provide additional opportunities and choice for St Nicholas pupils.

We are also proposing to increase the designated number of St Nicholas Special School from 285 to 310.

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. This duty applies to special school provision, as well as mainstream settings. The Commissioning Plan for Education Provision in Kent 2021-25 sets out our commissioning intentions and is revised annually.
