Sheppey College

Sheppey College, part of the East Kent College (EKC) Group, is a further education provider situated on the Isle of Sheppey. Currently a significant proportion of students travel to Sittingbourne or neighbouring towns to access education opportunities currently unavailable to them.

Proposed

The extension to the college will allow for  increased educational opportunities for young people living within Swale, both on and off the island. This includes a broadened curriculum offer matched to local employment opportunities. The additional space will also provide community learning  possibilities, including adult education to improve literacy, numeracy and digital skills.

Progress

East Kent College have worked with their design team to create plans for the new extension.

Construction kicked off this year on the extension of EKC Sheppey College and great progress is being made.

The groundwork for the College extension have now been finished, and the steel frame is taking shape.

This is an exciting point in any project, as we can see what the building will look like and its scale.

Once the skeleton of the building is complete, the contractors will begin to build around this until the building is weather-tight.
