St John's Church, Oakfield, Ryde

St. John's Church, Oakfield, Ryde is a parish church in the Church of England located in Ryde, Isle of Wight. History The church was built in 1842–43 by James and John Langdon to a design by the architect Thomas Hellyer. The church was consecrated on 18 July 1843 by Charles Richard Sumner the Bishop of Winchester. Successive enlargements to the building were made in following years as the local population grew, and on 3 December 1870 the enlarged church was re-consecrated. At the same time St John's became a parish church, until that time having been a chapel-of-ease in the parish of St Helens. A Lady chapel was added in 1914 in memory of the 7th Lord Calthorpe whose family lived at nearby Woodlands Vale, and were regular worshippers at the church. The chancel of the church was enlarged in 1954. The churchyard contains Commonwealth war graves of 13 service personnel from World War I and two from World War II. In 1970 a church hall was added as an extension of the church building, the previous hall having been situated some distance away at the junction of St John's Hill and St John's Avenue. The church hall was refurbished in 2006 and was used for a number of years as The Park Centre, a community resource. Management of the hall has now returned to the PCC of St John's Church and continues to be used by church and community groups.

Before that, it was a remand home owned by Middlesex County Council, earlier again another school in the 1930s, and before that a private home. Curriculum The school teaches GCSEs and A levels. Legal Disputes The school (and conduct of senior leaders of the school) have been the subject of numerous legal disputes; in particular with regards to parents removing their children from the school; lack of basic facilities such as toilets and water supply; behaviour of senior staff towards pupils; lack of engagement and communication with parents (as evidenced by the lack of PTA group). The school's leadership is incredibly litigious to keep media scrutiny of these issues to a minimum. Inspections In 2017 Ofsted judged the school 'Inadequate'. In 2019 it was judged Outstanding.
