Any School Questions - July 12 2012

On 12th July we held a community meeting at Knole Academy taking the form of a Question Time panel debate.  The panelists were:


  • Mary Boyle, Principal Knole Academy
  • Peter Read, Education Consultant
  • Bill Latimer, Chair, Sevenoaks Christian Free School bid team
  • Cllr Richard Parry, KCC
The event was supported by the Sevenoaks Chronicle and chaired by Roger Kasper, Editor.

Andrew & Sarah Shilling of the Sevenoaks Grammar School Campaign were unfortunately unable to attend.

The event was put together at short notice. It was a busy night in Sevenoaks, with a District Council meeting, various end of term school concerts and parent evenings.  We would like therefore to thank those people who were able to participate at short notice and who contributed to the quality debate.

The event was kindly recorded for us by Chris Tizzard - the video can be watched below.  Apologies for the  varying sound quality in places.
