APPENDIX 2: DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT EACH PLANNING AREA

SECONDARY SCHOOLSThurrock is divided into ‘Planning Areas’ for the purpose of projecting and reviewing the demand from pupils needing places against the school capacity available in an ‘area’. The areas are geographically defined by significant topographical features including major roads, railway lines, streams etc, or by the nature of their isolation, for example, the small villages in the area. Individual school’s circumstances are taken into account as part of the area planning. Area reviews allow a more targeted analysis of school places and give a better picture of the sufficiency/deficiency of places for an area. Different planning areas face different issues that will require different strategies in order to manage them successfully.

Thurrock operates 6 secondary planning areas.

SECONDARY PLANNING AREAS1 Aveley and Purfleet2 Chadwell St Mary & Tilbury3 Chafford Hundred4 Corringham and Stanford le Hope5 Grays6 Ockendon
