Invicta Grammar School, which is proposing to bring forward the Sevenoaks grammar school satellite, is beginning an eight week public consultation on its plans today. The consultation will run until 19 July.
This consultation is required by the Department for Education because the school is proposing a significant expansion. However, it also gives the school an opportunity to engage with the local community and to demonstrate the support for its plans.
Public meetings will be held during the consultation period, but you can also set out your views by emailing the school at clerktotrust@viat.org.uk (please put 'Sevenoaks Consultation' in the Subject box of the email), or by writing to:
The Clerk to the Trust
Invicta Grammar School
Huntsman Lane
Maidstone
Kent
ME14 5DS
Please write 'Sevenoaks Consultation' on the envelope.
Given the strong support demonstrated for the concept of grammar school provision in Sevenoaks through the petition to KCC in March last year, I very much hope that local people will demonstrate to the DfE how much enthusiasm and commitment there is to this project.
You can find the Chronicle's coverage of the issue here, and a further article about it on the Sevenoaks Grammar School Campaign's website here.
