PUBLIC NOTICE
THE PROPOSED ENLARGEMENT OF TUNSTALL CE PRIMARY SCHOOL
(SUBJECT TO RELOCATION)
Notice is given in accordance with section 19(1) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 that Kent County Council and The Diocese of Canterbury intend to make a prescribed alteration to Tunstall Church of England (Voluntary Aided) Primary School, Tunstall, Sittingbourne, Kent, ME9 8DX from 1 September 2015.
It is proposed to enlarge the school to provide 60 places per year group, taking the total capacity of the school to 420. The proposed enlargement is dependent upon the rebuilding of the school as a two form entry primary school on a site located in Tunstall Road, 500m from the school’s current site. The school would admit 60 children into Year R in September 2015 and subsequent years, growing over a seven year period to reach a total capacity of 420.
The current capacity of the school is 210 and the proposed capacity of the new school building will be 420. The current admission number of the school is 30 and the proposed admission number will be 60.

I hope this helps clarify the intent of the educational decision that seems to be the basis of some confusion.
