The Academy is committed to becoming an integral part of the Tunbridge Wells community and a catalyst for transformational change and regeneration in the area. It will establish itself as a hub for community services and learning needs and will ensure that its facilities are available for a wide range of adult education, leisure activities, ICT, business and community use.
