History

As part of the reorganisation of the education system on the Isle of Wight, Cowes Pathfinder Partnership was successful in their bid against Academies Enterprise Trust take over the school. In 2011, the school opened with the age range extended to Year 7 to Year 13. It is now one of 5 secondary providers on the Isle of Wight.

As part of the reorganisation, a bid for £30.5 million was won from the Department for Education and Skills to rebuild the school with a carbon neutral building, with an aim of being completed by 2012. [1] In December 2008, it was announced that redevelopment of the school had been delayed, caused by procurement rules following court rulings elsewhere, by up to a year with an opening of Summer 2012 as the latest opening date,.[2]

Prior to the new opening of the school, headteacher David Snashall stated he would be standing down, with Dave Goodhead taking over.[3] Jonathan Russell was appointed principal for the new Cowes Enterprise College.

As Cowes High School, the school was designated a Business and Enterprise College.[4]
