Three communities, one family. Together we learn, we grow, we achieve. Welcome to Iwade School We are a three-form primary school at the heart of the village of Iwade on the outskirts of Sittingbourne, Kent. Our school is organised in to three communities: Sky, Forest and Ocean.
Each community runs through from Year R to Year 6 - this is to build the community ethos of a small school within a school model. We are lucky enough to be part of Bourne Alliance Multi Academy Trust; a collaborative Trust of 4 local schools.
We benefit from shared expertise and opportunities in the best interest of our pupils, parents and staff through their journey here at Iwade School. We are very proud of our pupils and our school. Our children contribute to school life.
When asked they say they appreciate that they have a voice which can make a difference they say, Our vision is that our children will have received a curriculum that is creative, ambitious, diverse and inclusive, offering equal opportunities so that every child leaves ready for the next stage in their learning journey.
