In the lovely village of Wootton Bridge on the picturesque Isle of Wight is a place dedicated to enhancing the overall wellbeing of our community.
With a focus on mental and physical health, we offer a place to promote diversity, inclusivity, accessibility and community engagement.
From village school to an inclusive community hub
A warm welcome awaits you at to The Old School Centre, a cherished gem nestled within the historic walls of a school building dating back to 1873. Step into a space where history intertwines with the heartbeat of our community. Here, we invite you to experience a space designed to nurture connections, foster creativity, and inspire growth.
The old village schoolwas built in 1873, and was originally located on New Road. The trustees were the Minister and Churchwardens of Arreton. It was an all-age school until it then became a county primary school in 1953. The school then relocated to a purpose built campus in 1969 on Church Road.
We have recently undertaken refurbishment, which has modernised the school building and also added a new kitchen/food technology room, café seating, games and dance / activities studio, a spacious hall, meeting room and revamped toilet facilities.
Our ambitious plans are to establish a centre designed to nurture the holistic health of our community members. With a focus on access and inclusion both mental and physical wellbeing, we aim to provide a diverse range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
Offering a variety of wellness workshops and classes to providing access to support groups, our goal is to create an accessible nurturing environment which everyone can thrive. Through collaboration with local professionals and organisations, we aspire to become a trusted resource for promoting health and happiness
Join us on this transformative journey as we reimagine The Old School Centre as a beacon of wellbeing and support for all.
