About the event
Alkerden Academy – major new education hub in Kent
The new £80m Alkerden Academy will offer more than 2,200 places to primary and secondary school pupils, making it one of the largest education facilities ever to be built in Kent, occupying an expansive 11.1-hectare site.
Alkerden Academy, located in the Whitecliffe Eastern Quarry Development, is set to become an all-through school featuring an 8-form entry secondary school up to five-stories tall, and a 2-form entry, two-storey primary school. The campus will also include a community sports hall and sports pitches together with related car parking and access roads. Construction is already underway, with a completion target of July 2026. To minimise disruption, the project will be carried out in a single phase. The design aligns with the latest sustainability standards, aiming for a BREEAM Excellent rating and adopting BIM Level 2.
This site uses CSCS Smart Check – the only platform to verify all 2.1 million CSCS-logoed cards.
