The secondary school has been long held up by local politicians as the 'beacon' school for the Isle of Wight, but today, Ofsted have dealt a shocking blow with an Inadequate rating for the school.
Congratulations are in order for all at Christ The King College, after Ofsted rated the school Good in all areas following the Section 5 inspection last month.
The Education Policy Institute's latest report questions whether Ofsted is unfairly rating schools that have disadvantaged pupils. Given the current low Ofsted rating of schools on the Island and some areas of poverty, its contents will be of interest to many on the Isle of Wight.
The College responds to the latest Ofsted inspection which found the College to be 'Good' with the prospect of moving to 'Outstanding' within 12-18 months.
Cllr Stephens says the "Conservative administration is failing our children once again", and should replace £87 per pupil per annum funding cuts by better financial management.
