Education changes move forward

The IW Council’s move towards a two-tier education system has taken a major step forward.
The authority has approved all the statutory notices that were widely advertised and set out how each Island school would fit in with the proposals.
The only change to the notices was that Chale Primary was given two months to present viable proposals for a federation with another school or schools. If it fails to do that then the school will close as per the notices.
The council has also agreed preferred bidders to run six new schools created under the re-organisation – five secondary schools based around the existing highs and the new East Cowes primary school.
The decisions were taken by the Full Council on Wednesday during a six-hour meeting and then ratified by cabinet last night (Thursday Oct 1)
Full details of the cabinet decision can be found in the minutes of the cabinet meeting.
