Last Day To Have Your Say On Island School's Future

Today is the final chance for Islanders to have have their say on the future of an Isle of Wight primary school.

The IW Council is carrying out a public consultation on options for the future of Chillerton and Rookley Primary School.

The survey, which closes today (Friday), can be completed online.

Cllr Debbie Andre, cabinet member for children's services, education and lifelong skills, said:

"With just today left, it is extremely important the people of this school community as well as the wider area have their say on these options.

"I welcome the views of our residents and encourage as many people as possible to take part in this consultation so all views can be fully considered."

Options being considered...

The current consultation offers an opportunity for stakeholders to comment on a much broader range of options, and bring forward alternative proposals should they wish.

• To leave both schools open and federated, meaning the status quo remains.

• The amalgamation of Chillerton and Rookley Primary School with Godshill Primary School to be achieved through the closure of Chillerton and Rookley Primary School.

• The amalgamation of Chillerton and Rookley Primary School with Godshill Primary School to be achieved through the closure of Godshill Primary School.

• To seek an academy/free school sponsor for Chillerton and Rookley Primary School and, if successful, to defederate the school from the Stenbury Federation.

• To defederate Chillerton and Rookley from the Stenbury Federation and re-form it as a stand-alone primary school.

• To seek another local maintained school to federate with Chillerton and Rookley Primary School.

• To set up provision for flexi-schooling on the Chillerton and Rookley site to sit alongside full-time provision.

All comments on the options are welcomed and any additional, viable proposals are encouraged to be submitted via the consultation survey or in writing via email: [email protected]
