Given that there is almost a blackout on criticism of the revised schools proposals I hope that the following is useful information -a list of schools that will no longer be needed if these proposals are implemented:-
Newport area - Hunnyhill, Node Hill;
Cowes area - Gurnard, Love Lane;
East Cowes area - East Cowes, Whippingham;
Ryde - Greenmount, Oakfield;
East Wight - Forelands, St Helens;
Sandown - Broadlea, St John's;
Shanklin - none;
Ventnor - St Boniface, St Margaret's, St Wilfred's;
South Wight - Chale;
Central Wight - Chillerton & Rookley;
Totland - Weston;
Yarmouth - Yarmouth.
19 in total.
With less than certain futures: Newport - Downside; Freshwater - West Wight.
That's lot of real estate for the auctioneer's hammer...........

Soon to follow as part of the continuing review of Surplus Places (page 21 of the Members Briefing): Niton; Brighstone; Brading; Arreton; Godshill and Wroxall; possibly Newchurch; none of which rural schools is likely to reach 1 FE in size.
I reckon that whatever money is made from selling buildings will probably be taken away from our Schools budget anyway by Gordon Brown.
The only people who will benefit are the developers, I'd be looking closely at the register of interests of Councillors.
To say they are doing all this for the kids just shows how sick they truely are!!
