About Queensgate Foundation Primary

Queensgate Foundation Primary on the Isle of Wight is a state primary for children aged 4 to 11, currently home to 388 pupils against a capacity of 420.

The pupil population is notably diverse in socioeconomic terms — 34. 3% of children qualify for free school meals, well above the national average and a figure that gives the school a genuinely mixed intake. The school is non-religious and co-educational, led by headteacher Theresa Wall. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in October 2024, judged the school Good overall, with a standout Outstanding rating for personal development. That inspection was a graded visit, meaning the school has now held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, the previous one dating back to 2012.
