A Chance for Children to Grow at Hadlow
Based within the beautiful rural campus at Hadlow College, in the Garden of England, the brand new Hadlow Rural Community School plans to open its doors in September 2013 and to offer a unique secondary educational experience to local children from Year 7 onwards.
With its “rural ethos” this brand new free school was conceived from an original idea to develop exciting new educational opportunities for young people to learn in a land-based environment. We have already received several recommendations for this initiative.

An Outstanding Opportunity for your Child and the Community
The Hadlow Rural Community School sees this as a fantastic opportunity to nurture and enhance the imagination and potential of young people in a non-traditional way; to keep young people engaged in education through the delivery of a practically enhanced curriculum, based on the principle that inspirational teaching can take place outside the classroom, as well as inside.
In February 2012 we underwent a series of consultations with parents in Maidstone, Kings Hill and Tonbridge. The feedback we received through these events and the expressions of interest we had already received, were incorporated in the bid we submitted to the Department of Education in March.
Following confirmation that this bid had been accepted and passed the vigorous first stage, our proposal will now be considered in more detail by the Department of Education before a final decision is announced.
