Skinners' Kent Academy in Tunbridge Wells has been told by the Government it can go ahead with a £21.7 million building project.

The school endured a nervous wait for news after the scheme was put "under review" by Education Secretary Michael Gove when he announced the Government was scrapping its Building School for the Future programme.

Spokesman for the academy, formerly Tunbridge Wells High School, Simon Ingman said the school was "thrilled" the new build would receive full funding.
