the following are included: Bell Wood Primary in Maidstone (already on track to be an academy, currently in Special Measures); Chantry Primary in Gravesend (in Special Measures); Kingsmead Primary, Canterbury; Sherwood Park Community Primary in Tunbridge Wells (already on track, Headteacher taking early retirement). Molehill Copse Primary (Notice to Improve) and Oak Trees Community Primary (recently out of Special Measures) are both on their way to becoming part of the Academies Enterprise Trust, although KS2 results improved for 2011. Other possibilities include: Linden Grove Primary, Ashford,  Castle Hill Community, Folkestone (was closed down as the failing George Spurgeon School and reopened some six years ago); Pilgrims Way Primary, Canterbury; and St Mary of Charity, Faversham, none of which have achieved 50% Level 4s at Key Stage 2 in recent years. 

The Tiger School in Maidstone has now had its application to become a free school approved. There is also a proposal for a Christian Free Comprehensive School in Sevenoaks, but this is in competition with a proposed new grammar school, also on the same site of the old Wildernesse School.
