The IW Council is starting its next round of consultation on the future of Island education. Three schemes are to be considered, but the authority says it has already been decided that all primary schools will need to have a minimum of one class size per year group. That means some of the Island's rural primary schools are under threat. Ten public information meetings will be held across the Island, ahead of a final decision in March.
Meetings will be held at:
Thursday 24 January -- Osborne Middle School
Monday 28 January -- Ventnor Middle School
Tuesday 29 January -- Forelands Middle School
Thursday 31 January -- Medina High School
Monday 4 February -- Sandown High School
Tuesday 5 February -- Swanmore Middle School
Wednesday 6 February -- Carisbrooke High School
Monday 11 February -- Ryde High School
Tuesday 12 February -- West Wight Middle School
Wednesday 13 February -- Cowes High School
