We are pleased to announce that we will be offering 125 Year 7 places for September 2018 entry to meet the pressure for places at this school. As you may know, our PAN is 150 but we have had to offer no more than 100 places per year group in recent years due to the restrictions of our temporary site. This September we will be admitting 125 Year 7 students; and from September 2019 we expect to admit 150 Year 7 students, in line with our PAN, when we move to our permanent home in West Blatchington.
We are currently consulting on our admissions policy for entry in September 2019, with an amendment to our policy for entry in September 2018. Please find information on the consultation here and our proposed admissions policy for September 2019 here.

Following consent to the planning application for our new school building and facilities at West Blatchington, by BHCC and the Secretary of State, progress is being made on the discharge of the “pre-start on site” Planning Conditions. The contract with Kier Construction and agreement with RET is being finalised so that enabling works can commence on site before Christmas. Work on our new school build is expected to start in earnest towards the end of January 2018 and will continue until completion of all works; both new buildings and external areas, by 5 August 2019. Although the overall programme duration has not changed, the start on site is later than envisaged. Careful monitoring of the programme once on site will occur to ensure the end date of August 2019 is met. Nevertheless, by taking possession of our new premises over the summer holidays 2019, the move from our current site will be easier than if the school had been in session. In line with planning requirements, we have begun discussions with local bus service providers to extend existing popular routes to West Blatchington, in readiness for our move.
We will keep you updated in the coming months as work proceeds. In the meantime if you have any questions then please contact us via admin@kingsschoolhove.org.uk
