Medina High School, Newport

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Medina High School is a high school on the Isle of Wight, situated on the outskirts of the island's main town, Newport, next to the River Medina. It is a specialist Arts College, and has recently received the Artsmark gold award. It also publishes the Fusion magazine, which is written by students at the school. Situated next to Medina High School is the Medina Leisure Centre. It has a theatre, which has 420 seats, a gym, climbing wall, multiple swimming pools, sports hall equipped for most sports. There is also an arboretum on site, which consists of many varieties of trees and species of wild animals. Next to the arboretum is Seaclose Park, home to the revived Isle Of Wight Festival, which also partly uses the school fields which incorporate the Strawberry Fields site.

Future plans to reform the current three tier school system by the Isle of Wight Council could see the closure of the school, with its possible re-opening, losing the sixth form but taking students from years 7-11.^{[1] [2]}
