Seems there’s a chance Carisbrooke College may be in danger implies Cllr Whitehouse.

Of note (politically) last evening were: 1. UKIP councillors don’t support Living Wage. 2. Nor do some local Tories, even though Cameron and Boris do! 2. Tory opposition leader can’t manage to stay for the entire meeting 3. Cllrs Priest & Gilbey voting with Tories in election of Planning Chair. What was the point of them standing for election in 2013 if that’s going to be the… Read more »

Voting with the Tories could well be the rule now.

Have you seen the other news story on here about your emails to (and from) them?

Is Rush Close a smokescreen for their alleged coup?

The “living wage” is just the latest emotive buzz phrase which ultimatelty is not going do anyone any good. It is only going to stoke up inflationary pay increases as those above them seek to maintain their differentials. I put it in the same category as child poverty and carbon footprint. i.e. rubbish. Is it any wonder that UKIP are gaining in popularity by not suppoting such… Read more »

Just seen an article that said fears that Carisbrooke High School might be closed was raised at the meeting last night.

Guess who raised this? Chris Whitehouse.

I bet there are lots of fearful parents now. Thanks, Chris. Yet again you put out misinformation that breeds fear and anger for no reason.

or perhaps he is ‘clearing the ground’ for Christ the King College in the future? Both schools are/were due for new schools. Take one out of the equation….simples

Housing development value of the land at Carisbrooke College could be upwards of £84 million, perhaps providing another nice little earner for AET of a public asset awarded gratis?

This school isn’t an academy and although a foundation trust school still belongs to the Council. Medina is the same. AET have Ryde and Sandown

Thanks for the clarification Geoff. So IWC still os the freeholder of the “school’s” land and buildings?

Isn’t Carisbrooke College part of Gove’s £2 billion Priority School Building Programme, a PFI scheme that involves private contractors paying upfront for schools and hospital buildings, then leasing them back for up to 30 years?

Answer I have:-“Carisbrooke College, along with Ryde and Christ the King are part of the Priority School Building Programme 1 (PSBP1). The original intention was that PSBP1 would be PFI funded. However, there was not enough interest from the private sector so the investment programme has had to be funded through grant and contracted in the normal way.”

Thanks Geoff! However was not PSBP relaunched as the PF2 PFI initiative with an overall estimate of £52 million for the IoW (Ryde College, Carisbrook College and CTK)? “The draft contract issued by the Treasury PF2 Equity Unit anticipates the “Third Party Equity Provider” being a person who is not related to the building contractor or FM contractor under the principal sub-contracts.” (see PF2 – HoldCo/ SPV… Read more »

Thanks Geoff. if Carisbrooke is part of the Priority School Building Programme then a PFI contractor might well hold a long leasehold even though IWC retains the freehold.
