 The current Executive Headteacher (of both Dane Court and King Ethelbert School, Birchington, which in 2010 joined to form a 'federation' under the 2003 Federation of Schools Regulations) is Paul Luxmoore, while the Headteacher (at Dane Court only) is Martin Jones.In October 2003 Dane Court applied to become a Specialist Language College, as part of which it had to demonstrate support (both verbal and financial) from local businesses, and a commitment to promote languages within its community.The bid was successful, meaning that the school received a government grant enabling it to improve its facilities for teaching modern foreign languages (primarily German, French and Spanish).
