Westlands School, Sittingbourne

Partners: KCC and Canterbury College

Total value of Project: £900 000

GKA contribution: £60 000

Open: Spring 2006

 
Westlands School in Sittingbourne caters for learners over a wide ability range, and already has a lot to offer as a specialist ICT school with good facilities. Westlands have consulted with local industries about the requirement for training in the area, and have found a great deal of support for vocational training in Construction.

GKA worked with the School and Kent County Council to provide a construction workshop which now enables 14-16 year olds to get an early start in learning construction skills, as well as providing for learners over the age of 16 in conjunction with Canterbury College.
