Welcome To Idle CE (A) Primary School 

A warm welcome to Idle C of E (A) Primary School! We are a Church school at the centre of our community in Idle, Bradford,  where our children are at the heart of everything we do. 

Here at Idle C of E, we aim to nurture not only the academic development of our pupils, but also their character, their hearts, and their spirits.

Our status as a church school is fundamental to who we are at Idle CE(A) Primary School. This is theologically rooted in our Christian Vision of:

 Jesus’ promise of “life in all its fullness” (John 10.10)  

Our school is built on a foundation of Christian values, with love, courage, and joy guiding our actions every day.

Every child is loved, supported, and valued in our school community. It is through this love that we foster an environment where all children can grow and thrive, both personally and academically.

We encourage our pupils to approach each challenge with confidence, resilience, and a positive attitude. We teach them to step outside their comfort zones, knowing that mistakes are part of the learning process and that each step forward is a victory.

We believe in celebrating the small moments, finding joy in learning, and sharing our happiness with others. When we learn with joy, we inspire a lifelong love of knowledge and growth.

At Idle C of E, we are committed to creating a school community where each child can blossom in a caring, inclusive, and supportive environment. We invite all of our families to join us in this journey, as together, we help our children become confident, kind, and curious individuals ready to make a positive difference in the world.

Thank you for choosing Idle C of E Primary School. We are excited to work together to make this a wonderful and rewarding experience for all of our children. Should you wish to visit our school, please make an appointment via the school office team.
