Options
• We have expanded Kender from 1FE to
2FE
• We hope to open 2FE at a re-furbished
Mornington Centre in 2013
• We know that Haberdasher Aske’s are
planning to apply to open a 2FE Free
school on their site
Other possibilities
• We have applied for funding that would
enable us to rebuild Sir Francis Drake as a
2FE school – decision awaited
• We are in discussion with the developers
of major sites in the area to get either a
school built as part of the development OR
a financial contribution
