Under a delegated decision, Cllrs David Pugh and George Brown of the Isle of Wight council have decreed that Nodehill Middle school (as is), will be signed over to the Island Innovation Trust for five years.
The reason given (below) was, “To ensure significant and appropriate accommodation is provided for sixth form students attending Medina College and Carisbrooke College.”
VB first highlighted back in July 2010 that Nodehill was due to become a sixth form college.
Back in the middle of February, IWC announced that they were due to make a delegated decision about it.

Did I miss a story about Medina High School and Carisbrooke High School becoming colleges?

Think it’s just the sixth forms that will use Nodehill. Does that help?

how are they qualified to make such decisions?

Who is Paul Thistlewood apart from being principal scrutiny officer? What is ‘Island Innovation Trust’ – fancy title, bad smell methinks.

Island Innovation Trust is the body formed (originally Medina Innovation Trust) that was formed to run the “new” highschools at Medina and was then approached by the council to apply to run Carisbrooke as well in a “hard federation”.
It is planned that Nodehill will become the 6th. form for both schools.

Lilly, Island Innovation Trust (a local Trust) won the bid to run Medina and Carisbrooke as they become secondary schools for 11-18 year old from this September (rather than the high schools for 13-18 year olds they currently are). Cowes Secondary will be run by Cowes Pathfinder Partnership (another local Trust). Sandown and Ryde become academies from September run by Academies Enterprise Trust.
The decision was made in 2009 as part of the schools reorganisation.
