KCC wants to make sure there are enough high quality places available for children and young people by expanding good quality schools, securing investment in new ones and providing additional places in the areas where there is growth in numbers. 

Across Kent, forecasts suggest the number of primary school-aged

pupils is expected to rise significantly from 116,600 to 127,300 over the next

few years. The secondary-aged population, while reducing between now and 2015,

will rise through the latter part of this decade, peaking to about 83,200 in

2021.

Feedback from this consultation will contribute towards the final version of the plan, which will be published in the autumn.
