Abstract
Five Acre Wood school near Maidstone has been granted planning permission to ‘transform’ a train carriage into a community café, it was reported by BBC News.
The school caters for children with moderate, severe, profound or complex learning difficulties. When the FAWrient Express café is up and running school pupils will receive hospitality training whilst working there.
Headteacher Tim Williams told BBC News: “It’s where our pupils with learning difficulties can prepare, serve and sell affordable drinks to parents, visitors and the local community.
"We’d love if trades and companies in the area can get behind us, to help us renovate it, because it will need renovation to bring it up to the specification that we would like and that our pupils deserve.”
