There’s a new name for the amalgamated primary school that will serve East Cowes from September: Queensgate Foundation Primary.
It replaces East Cowes and Whippingham primaries, although the sites will continue to operate for the first year before an expected move to the Osborne Middle School site. A new logo and school uniform has also been revealed. The name was inspired by the Queen’s Gate entrance to the Osborne House estate. Sandie Johnson has been appointed as the Deputy Head Teacher, joining new Head Teacher Samantha Sillito.
