Strengths
- “Pupils and staff are proud to be part of Ide Primary School.”
- “Parents describe it as a ‘small school with a big heart.”
- “Pupils say that ‘everyone has a voice and a place in this school.”
To improve
- “In some wider curriculum subjects, however, the school has not identified the precise knowledge it wants all pupils to know and remember.”
- “In these subjects, pupils do not build their knowledge well.”
- “For example, in history, pupils struggle to recall their learning about periods of time they have studied in the past, such as the Stone Age.”
