Mr M.J. Wood. The Cornwallis School is situated on the Southern outskirts of Maidstone and occupies a site of approximately 40 acres. We became grant maintained on 1 April 1991 and gained Technology College status in 1994. The school has two main teaching blocks with year and dining areas, three large computer suites and a central library.
Subject areas have suites of rooms grouped together.
Since becoming a Technology College we have been able to invest over 300,000 in multi-media information technology facilities. An extension of funding until 1999 will mean further investment in the region of 250,000. Video conferencing is used to deliver 'A' level psychology and sociology by Distance Learning to 58 students in Year 12 and 13. Great emphasis has been placed on the improvement of standards and quality of work in the classroom.
