Iping and Stedham Commons
Minstead Lane, just off A272
The commons are a local nature reserve and provide a habitat to a wide range of flora and fauna. They are areas of lowland heath – now thought to be a rarer habitat than tropical rainforest - and many of the animals and plants on the commons are dependant upon the continued existence of this rare habitat. The reserve is within the AONB of the South Downs and is part of the Iping Common Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Stedham School gets top marks
July 2006
Stedham Primary School has received top marks for quality in raising standards in the basic skills its pupils learn. The government-funded Basic Skills Agency award was presented by Mr. Robert Back, West Sussex director of children's services. He visited the school to present the award, which was achieved only after the school had fulfilled 10 requirements. These included...'a whole-school strategy, including an action plan, to improve performance in basic skills, assessment of pupils' performance, a regular review of the progress made by each pupil who was under-attaining in basic skills, and a commitment to improving the skills of staff in the school to teach and extend basic skills'.
