St Ivo School is a secondary school with sixth form in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire.
ICT Mark – This award shows that St Ivo is at the forefront of using information and communication technology to enhance teaching and learning. The new quality mark recognises schools who can demonstrate they use ICT to support all learners and all school activities. The ICT Mark was awarded by Becta, the government's lead agency for ICT in education, and recognises the success that St Ivo has in developing a strategic approach to its use of ICT across the whole school.
Artsmark Silver Award – This award aims to recognise the work done in departments such as dance, drama, music and art. Artsmark schools are committed to giving young people a wide range of arts experiences both in the classroom and in after-school clubs, and to provide visits or partnerships with artists and arts organisations.
European Award For Languages 2006 Winner – This award recognises creative ways to improve the quality of language teaching, motivate students and make the best of available resources. Award-winning projects provide a potential source of inspiration for others – in different languages, contexts and even different countries – and have an international dimension. St Ivo School has received this award as part of our participation in the Junior CULP (Cambridge University Language Programme) which enables students to learn a new language through intensive all day and twilight sessions, which are held at either the university or school.
In September 2008 St Ivo School was designated a Specialist Humanities School. The school became an academy in 2011.
The St Ivo Entomology and Natural History Society was founded in 1957 and existed under the guidance of biology master Mr Henry Berman until c2007. The buildings were part of the science block and included an extension with its own entrance door to a "sluice" area, an amphibian room a "tropical" room and a "stock area". There was also (adjacent, but within the main science block) a mammal room and a classroom/laboratory, part of which contained a "museum" of specimens. These specimens included fossilised mammoth teeth from Erith sandpits, a mummified monkey and a large dried sturgeon which hung from the ceiling.
