Chiefs have unveiled development plans for a secondary school just months before it marks its first year of opening.
Turner Free School in Surrenden Road, Cheriton, enrolled its first batch of 120 Year 7s last September after it replaced Pent Valley Technology College.
It was the first new secondary school to open in Folkestone in 11 years.
CEO of Turner Schools Trust Jo Saxton made no secret to Kent Live that the school would undergo mass transformation, in line with the introduction of more students as each academic year passes.
