with 30,000 students across England, have been selected to operate the first secure
school in Medway. They have been appointed to preopening, and we will now work with
Oasis to develop the operating model for the secure school, and subject to progress,
will then agree the arrangements to operate the secure school next year.</p><p> </p><p>We
are investing c. £5m investment to repurpose the existing site, which will include
extensive refurbishment of classrooms and residential areas. The provider will be
awarded an annual budget of c. £9m to operate it. Both capital and revenue costs will
be funded by MOJ.</p><p> </p><p>Medway Secure Training Centre will close in early
