Vision for Local Secondary Provision

The campaign seeks a local, non-selective, inclusive secondary offer in Cranbrook that supports different strengths and pathways.

Educational Model

  • A non-selective school with a curriculum that values academic, vocational, and blended pathways.
  • Mainstream provision that can include and support children with SEND where appropriate.
  • A school size and culture that helps staff know pupils as individuals.

Values and Ethos

  • Inclusivity, belonging, aspiration, and confidence-building.
  • Positive community identity, with pupils feeling valued by local people.
  • A practical focus on wellbeing, security, and strong in-person relationships.

What Success Looks Like

  • Stronger attendance and engagement through shorter, safer journeys.
  • Pupils developing their talents and interests in a school that fits local needs.
  • Families reconnected through a shared local school community.
