Primary School Crisis

The Kings Hill School problem is not an isolated case, as can be seen from various plights highlighted in the national press and local gazettes around the country. Government ministers have been urged to take the primary school crisis far more seriously than has seemingly being done so up to this point. Parents and local MP’s - including the current Shadow Secretary of State for Education, Stephen Twigg – have all voiced their concerns for the wellbeing of our children’s education.  

Two interesting articles that highlight this issue and are worth reading include:

And more recently the Oxford Mail writes about the serious shortages of primary school places within their county:  “Warning on new school place crisis”

The Kings Hill Working Party was formed to collectively voice the growing concern for the primary school crisis within Kings Hill, Kent.  Kings Hill is a rapidly growing, young family orientated community.  An expected 400 houses are yet to be built, and we don’t believe the development of new houses will stop there.  This will surely only compound the already severe shortage of primary school places made available to the existing children living in the community.  Read more about The Kings Hill Working Party and how you can help us.
