It would be sad and short sighted to close a school that sits in the heart of the community and does a great job of developing young people and helping them thrive.Clare-Louise Bennison (Cowes, 2024-09-10)

My mother is a teacher at cowes primary school. Not only this but I think the decision is completely unfair and barely thought out as it should be based on the schools teaching and not money!! Why close a foster graded “good” school and keep open an academy just for the money and not the teaching !!!Nell Stanton (Isle of Wight, 2024-09-10)

My children have attended Cowes Primary for the last 15 years and not only is it a staple of the Cowes community for education but a wonderful safe place for kids to socially grow. The lies and unfairness shown to this school does not represent a decent behaviour by a council who apparently has it's constituents best interests at heart.Ben Allen (Newport, 2024-09-11)

Access to Gurnard is impractical for our family as it is too far to walk in the morning and there is no car parking nearby the school. Moving our child there would have a detrimental effect to the everyday life of our family.Alex Wild (Cowes, 2024-09-14)

I am signing this petition as I strongly disagree with the way the consultation has been run. I manage a preschool on the site of Cowes Primary School, and they have always supported us with our day to day running of the preschool. We rent the property from them, but apart from that, they have been supportive at all times. We share advice, resources, events, and ideas.Debbie Gibson (Shanklin, IOW, 2024-09-14)

There is a shortage of excellent schools on the island, regardless of pupil numbers, why not close the more under achieving school and transfer those pupils to cowes primary.Angela McAleese (Iow, 2024-09-15)

It is important for children to go to a local school and for them and their parents not have to travel miles out of their way every day, especially at this young age.Jackie Williams (Shanklin, 2024-09-16)

I don’t think the local authority is being transparent and do not feel that closure of CPS is justifiable.Sarah Glaccum (Cowes, 2024-09-17)

All our children attended this fantastic school. With more and more house being built (plans for another 170 on the nearby Somerton Farm). All the remaining schools will have too many pupils to be able to provide the best education possible.Steve Forster (Cowes, 2024-09-26)
