The relocation of a secondary school has been given the go-ahead.
St John Fisher RC Comprehensive will move to the playing fields off City Way, Rochester, after councillors agreed plans for pupils to move out of two outdated facilities.

Students currently learn at two sites in Maidstone Road and Ordnance Street in Chatham which developers say are costly to maintain due to their age.
During a virtual meeting of Medway Council's planning committee yesterday (Wednesday), ward councillors said whilst they approved the relocation of the school, they were worried about the impact the development would have on residents living in City Way, Elmhurst Gardens and Boundary Road.
