Education strategic plans

The Children, Families and Education Directorate produce a number of strategic plans which form part of its Policy Framework. The list below represents those plans that are available. We will add new plans when they are ready.

Each plan includes contact details should you wish to discuss it further with us.

A look at what the CFE Directorate has been doing during 2008 and its main areas of progress and achievement. 

Strategic Plan for the Provision of Secondary School Places 2007-2017

This plan is produced by officers to inform and assist Kent County Council (KCC) in its decision making for planning secondary school places over the next ten years. The projections in this plan are based on best estimates, informed by district plans, the Kent Structure Plan and the local Primary Care Trusts’ (PCT) live births data. This report details available secondary places for Years 7 -11 by individual school, and forecast need for each district in turn. Where possible, plans and ideas for the reduction or increase in places to match that forecast need are outlined. Some projects will be in progress, some will be at the feasibility stage and some will represent possibilities for future discussion.

Kent Children and Young People's plan 2008 - 2011

This plan aims to turn our vision into reality by addressing the needs and aspirations of Children and Young People (C&YP) in Kent and representing the priorities for improvement of all agencies and sectors delivering services to Children, Young People and their families.

Kent Primary Strategy 2006: Recommendations

The Kent Primary Strategy 2006 is the result of a series of discussions on primary education in Kent, held between a representative group of headteachers and officers from the Local Authority, during academic year 2004-05.

Their recommendations were widely consulted on for a seven week period from 21 November 2005 and it is hoped this Strategy will provide a framework for decision making for the next 5 -10 years.

14-19 Learner Strategy

This document sets out a shared vision and framework for the development of Kent’s 14–19 strategy, between Kent County Council, Kent and Medway Learning and Skills Council and Connexions – Kent & Medway.
