Official Press Release From Isle of Wight Council
Isle of Wight Council has published a list of meetings which form part of the local authority’s formal consultation on its final proposals for school reorganisation.
Meetings for parents of schools that are proposed for either closure, federation or amalgamation will be held over the next few weeks, and meetings at other schools will be held in September.
Parents will be invited to these meetings by their child’s school.
Two public meetings will also be held in July while Diocese-maintained schools will hold their own separate meetings. The representations made during the parent and public meetings will be considered as part of the formal consultation.
Separate meetings for staff and governors at individual schools are also being held.
The meetings will explain to those attending where the council is in the reorganisation process, how the council arrived at its current position, what happens next, and how people can make their views known during the formal consultation period.
A list of parent and public meetings to be held in June and July can be found below.
A full list of meetings, including meetings to be held in September, will shortly be available via the council’s website or at www.eduwight.iow.gov.uk.
The formal consultation period begins on Monday 23 June and lasts until Friday 26 September at 5pm. Representations can be made IN WRITING to Alex Moffat, School Reorganisation Project Manager, Isle of Wight Council, County Hall, Newport, PO30 1UD or via email to
