Isle of Wight School Catchment Areas
Isle of Wight has 51 schools - 36 primary and 6 secondary - spread across its towns and areas.
School density is highest in Newport and Ryde - parents in other parts of Isle of Wight should check the exact distance-offered figure from the previous year before banking on proximity alone.
Selective schools are part of the mix in Isle of Wight - for those applying to grammar schools, a selective admissions test is required in addition to the standard admissions process.
Based on the latest published capacity data, 6 of the 51 schools in Isle of Wight are at or above their admission number, so catchment distance is decisive at those schools. Isle of Wight has 1 selective school that admit by entrance test rather than distance. 18 schools apply faith-based criteria alongside catchment distance. Of the 23 Isle of Wight schools with a current Ofsted rating, 16 are rated Good or Outstanding.
