Secure fencing will provide a robust boundary between the main site construction areas and the temporary school facility.  We will be working closely with Graham (the contractor) and KCC to always ensure safety and accessibility to the temporary site.

Vehicular Access

In summary, there are two general vehicular access routes to Eastern Quarry from the B259 Southfleet Road to the east, one from the B255 St Clements Way to the west and one from the A296 Watling Street to the south.

A permeable grid approach for general traffic is adopted within Eastern Quarry to ensure that car use is provided for at an appropriate level as part of the overall movement and access mix.

On this basis, a hierarchy of routes is provided across the Eastern Quarry as illustrated below, where blue routes represent Primary Streets and red routes represent Secondary Streets. The site is also served by a series of internal and local roads that provide access to the local development areas and parcels.

Pupil admission numbers for Alkerden is agreed with KCC as follows:

Alkerden Academy will be a school with a Church Foundation. This reflects our school’s partnership with the Church of England community.

The school welcomes children of all faiths and none.  You do not have to attend a place of worship to attend Alkerden Academy, and there are no faith criteria for admissions.  The school is committed to the principle of inclusion. Our mission is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, meeting all statutory requirements and enshrining our vision of opportunity and achievement within a positive and welcoming learning environment.
