More than half of the second-year sixth form students at Cowes Enterprise College have secured university places. This year, of the 80 students in the last year of sixth form at Cowes Enterprise College, 43 have received offers from Russell Group universities. Of those, one has secured a place to study archaeology at Cambridge, another has an offer to study politics at Oxford, and a third has an offer to study medicine at Bristol. Rachel Kitley, principal of Cowes Enterprise College since 2017, said: “We are so proud of all our students for their achievements. Those who go to Oxbridge or Russell Group universities make the headlines, but we also have students who win highly prized apprenticeships with leading employers or go straight into great jobs.

Level 42 Inspired Isle Of Wight Musician To Release New Tracks
By Jamie White
An Isle of Wight musician - inspired by Level 42 star, Mark King - has teamed up with a leading producer to record and release a number of new tracks.
Ex- Mumbo Jumbo and Jimmy’s Big Fish frontman Simon Holmes has used time in lockdown to reflect and develop some melodic new songs, produced by English musician, composer and songwriter, Nick Coler.
Simon, now being known by the name December 62, first found the love for music back at Solent Middle School. He asked for a drum kit for Christmas and spent a lot of time with his brother in the family home making up songs and playing on his Dad’s records on his stereo.
