The Isle of Wight Studio School was a Studio school which opened in East Cowes on the Isle of Wight in 2014. It was on the site of the former East Cowes Primary School.[1] It was a sister school to the Southampton Studio School, which was first renamed Inspire Enterprise Academy and then closed in 2015.[1][2][3] It was part of the Studio Schools Trust. The school catered for 14-19 year-olds.[2][4] There were a maximum of 75 children in each year.[5]

The school's sixth-form closed in 2018 because not enough students applied.[6] The rest of the school closed in 2019, again because of the low number of students.[6][7]

The school's first and only Ofsted inspection was in May 2018, with a judgement of Requires Improvement.[8]
