Nurturing Creative & Autonomous Learners: Kent Secondary Strategy - Phase 2

"To significantly raise achievement levels in Kent we need to develop highly motivated autonomous, collaborative and creative learners who are equipped for life and work in the 21st Century. This will require us to personalise the education offer so that we fully understand how to stimulate, nurture and stretch every young person in accordance with his or her abilities, interests and needs."

The document outlines the educational vision that underpins our BSF Programme and details the major reforms required to support it.

BSF Strategic Business Case

Kent's BSF Strategic Business Case combines the educational vision developed in our Nurturing Creative & Autonomous Learners and applies it to strategic asset planning for the areas of Gravesham, Thanet and Swale. The strategy serves as a blueprint to co-ordinate the plans and aspirations of all users and providers of secondary education in these localities and ensure value-for-money.

The KCC_Template_01: Schools for the Future booklet was the outcome of a dialogue between architects, designers, learning professionals and the community prompted by the need to consider the future learning requirements of the planned Kent Thameside development. The template outlines a number of strategic approaches to school design that will facilitate the development of high quality learning environments for learners in Kent.[ODPM/KCC, 2005]
