This question was answered on 16th May 2022
Our priority is the safe and successful delivery of the first secure school in Medway. As of the end of April, the last period we can confirm with certainty, the total costs associated with the opening of the school were £8.4m.
Our aim is for the school to open for placements in late 2023. It is important that placements are made on a case-by-case basis and we ensure a smooth and safe increase, so this will be reviewed regularly after school opening.
