Education provision plan
The Commissioning Plan for Education Provision in Kent is a 5 year rolling plan which we update annually.
The 2021 to 2025 version was approved by Cabinet on 11 January 2021.
This document shows how we will make sure there are:
- enough high quality education places
- places located in the right areas
- places for all learners.

DfE Special Provision Capital Fund
The Special Provision Capital Fund will provide £11,167,240 towards specialist provision in Kent: The funding was allocated in two tranches, £6,600,000 and £4,589,277.
A consultation was held in summer 2019 to gain views as to how we would use the second tranche of £4,589,277. It was decided that this should be used to increase provision for pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
