Statutory Proposal Notice Establishing a Voluntary-Aided Secondary School in Kingston upon Thames
Notice is given in accordance with Section 11(1 A) of the Education and Inspections Act that the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education (SDBE) intends to establish a new voluntary-aided secondary school for pupils aged 11-16 years.
Kingston Church of England Secondary School will be state funded by the Department for Education and will be operated by Southwark Diocesan Board of Education (SDBE) and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. It will be an inclusive, open to all faiths and no faith, nonselective Church of England secondary school for pupils aged 11-16 years with (when it reaches full capacity in the 2028-2029 school year) 900 places providing high quality education. It will admit 180 places per year and will open for its first Year 7 cohort in September 2024. The school will grow incrementally year on year as future Year 7 cohorts join.
The secondary school's vision will be based around a broad and balanced education. It will have a distinctive Christian character, and will offer its pupils the opportunity to grow and develop within that broad and balanced curriculum framework under-pinned by Christian values. It is also proposed that a Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) should be established when the school opens, in September 2024 for up to 20 pupils across the school over time. This provision will be for pupils who have Social Communication Needs, including Autism, and Mild to Moderate Learning Difficulties.
