While there are currently some limited surplus places in Kenilworth primary schools, and would not be able to accommodate the likely product from the proposed development at Thickthorn. Also, these few surplus places are concentrated on the west side of the town, whereas this development is on the eastern side of the town.

An estimated 159 additional primary school places will be generated. In addition, 23 fte nursery age places would also be required.

The east side of Kenilworth is currently served by a two-form entry infant school and a two form entry junior school. However, a site would be sought for a 420 place (2FE) primary school, with early years provision on the new development to allow a more flexible pattern of school provision to be considered. A contribution toward land acquisition costs on the Thickthorn site will therefore be required as well as toward the cost of building.

At the secondary school phase, Kenilworth School is the only secondary school serving the town and the provision of 113 secondary school places plus 27 sixth form places will also be required.
