Members of the public will be invited to have their say on the new plans for all-through education in Sandown. One big change will be the sixth form, which needs to have at least 200 students but only has 39 in Year 12 at the moment.
The Bay CE School was launched in September 2018, after Sandown Bay Academy was closed and re-opened federated with The Bay Primary school.
Ministerial approval to close Sandown Bay Academy enabled plans to extend The Bay CE Primary to become an all through school from 1 September 2018 catering for students aged 4-16.
Sandown Bay Academy was one of six secondary schools on the Isle of Wight and was run as an Academy, by a privately held company, AET.
