Special School Advisory Committee
18th Nov 2024

Dear parents/carers, We have been informed of a new initiative, the “Special School Parent Advisory Committee” being established by KCC, in partnership with Kent PACT. The aim of the committee is to enhance special school parent engagement in the strategic long-term planning of special school places across Kent.

Extending Provision Update
3rd Jun 2020

This week we will be contacting parents/carers regarding extending our provision. As stated earlier, it is not possible at this time to offer to all parents who have requested a place, but please be assured we will be reviewing the provision each fortnight with a view to extending our offer if we are able to do so. This is obviously dependent on us having the staff available and that further extending our provision does not compromise the health and safety of our pupils and staff. All parents will be receiving the Parent Handbook through the post over the next couple of days, which details the new ways of working in order to promote the health and safety of all members of the school community.
