The trust was founded to help the Isle of Wight Council with its reorganisation of the second level education on the island.[4][5] Therefore, it admitted proposals to establish two secondary schools in Newport[6] and Carisbrooke[7] Both proposals were accepted and the schools opened their doors for students in September 2011.[8]
