Medway's
Medway's first academy is open and the students are already hard
at work.
Strood Academy welcomed year seven and sixth formers yesterday,
Tuesday, and the rest of the students were arriving today.
The academy has been formed from the merger of Chapter and
Temple schools and will be the first of three in Medway.
Lead sponsor the University for the Creative Arts and co-sponsor
Medway Council will be working with the Department for Children,
Schools and Families to provide new buildings on the site by
2011/2012.
Academy principal Richard Hart said: "We are delighted to be
able to open the Strood Academy and to welcome our first cohort of
students."
It has also been announced that TV personality Loyd Grossman,
chairman of UCA's governors, will offically open the new academy on
Thursday, October 1.
