ECC has recently produced a 10 year plan outlining the growing need for school places across Essex over the next 10 years.
The first event took place on Monday 27 June, and at that meeting Clare Kershaw and Paul Crick shared the detailed plan for Mid Essex. For more information and the remaining dates in the other three quadrants, go to

The purpose of the 10 year plan is to set out:
- the strategic and local context in which the capital programme and school organisation operates in Essex
- the demand for school places in the next 10 years (from academic year 16/17 to academic year 25/26) for each of the Districts and the authority's plans to address this demand
- solutions already in the pipeline for each of the Districts that will meet some of this demand
- options for addressing future demand
The scope of the 10 year plan is mainstream education provision in Essex County. SEND, Early years, 6th form and other forms of educational provision are not the scope of this plan. The span of the plan aims to encourage strategic investment solutions and more efficient and sustainable choices on how capital funding is allocated.
This plan is based on summer 2015 forecasts. It will be updated annually in October to take into account the annual summer forecasts, the Capital budget setting cycle and on-going demand and potential options and solutions on a 10-year rolling basis.
