Knock knock children's museum11/9/2022 ![]() ![]() In October 2019 former KCC leader Paul Carter announced the decision not to go ahead with a new build at the site in Margate. ![]() The new secondary school project is going ahead after an attempt to shelve it was overturned by the government. The hydrotherapy pool and gym is not affected by the project. The site features around 120,000 sq ft of school buildings, including former student housing. The Royal School for Deaf Children was the oldest in the country, with the Margate site dating back to 1876. The CQC had ordered the trust to shut down residential accommodation attached to the college with 38 residents aged 19 to 22 being moved to alternative facilities after the revelation of physical abuse incidents. The distressing closure of the school and Westgate College resulted in some 500 job losses and scores of children left without a specialist school placement. The Royal School for Deaf Children was shut down suddenly in December 2015 after The John Townsend Trust, which ran it, went into administration. Planning permission for the project is yet to be decided but demolition works were approved in August. The academy sponsor is The Howard Academy Trust. Also included within the new school will be a 20 place Specialist Resourced Provision for pupils whose primary barrier to learning is Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The six form academy is expected to open in September 2023. These areas as well as the sports hall are likely to be open for after-school hours community use. The lower part of the site will of the site will have outdoor grass pitches and a multi-use games area. Park Crescent Academy will have a teaching block which houses all teaching and administration areas as well as the assembly and dining halls, and a sports hall. Once cleared the land will be used to site a new secondary academy. Photos from resident Frank Leppard show demolition work underway at the former Royal School for Deaf Children in Margate.
