"Good school, but some minor issues"
We've been at Ide Primary School for a year now and overall we're happy with the education and care our child is receiving. The staff are all very friendly and the facilities are great. However, we've had some minor issues with communication and organisation, which can be frustrating at times. We're hoping these will be addressed in time, as we do love the school's values and approach.

"Excellent school with a great community"
We were part of the Ide Primary School community for 3 years and had a wonderful experience. The staff are all so passionate about what they do and the school's focus on knowing each child as an individual really shines through. The facilities are excellent and the children love the outdoor areas. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a school with a strong community feel.
